Research and Markets: Argentina, Brazil and Mexico Recorded Impressive Broadband Growth Over Past Year, But Is This Set to Continue?

Dublin (PRWEB) May 23, 2005

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c17749) has announced the addition of Latin America Broadband to their offering.

A relatively stable economic environment has helped get the Latin American broadband marketplace on track. Argentina, Brazil and Mexico recorded impressive broadband growth over the past year, while Chile leads the region in broadband penetration—all good news for broadband equipment and service providers.

Attention: ISPs, Telecom and IT Equipment Manufacturers, Global 2000 Companies, E-Retailers, Video, Music and Game Producers, Marketers and Advertisers.

The Latin America Broadband report explores why the broadband markets of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico are growing, why ADSL has become more widespread and affordable and why bandwidth offers are beginning to increase from a typical connection of 256Kbps to 512Kbps or more. In other words, why broadband markets in Latin America, like the rest of the world, are picking up speed.

While the availability and adoption of broadband in Latin American is still well behind North America, Western Europe and much of the Asia-Pacific region, many factors now suggest that the Latin American Internet sector is on a path of stable and continued growth. Unfortunately, history would suggest that this projection might be a tad rash.

With the economic downturn in Latin America between 2001 and 2003 there was a corresponding downturn in research coverage of the region, particularly from local Latin American research firms. This fact, combined with the economic volatility over the last few years, has made forecasting for the region, even two years out, perilous at best. eMarketer has therefore taken a relatively conservative approach to its forecasts in this report and attempted to provide alternative perspectives wherever possible.

Key questions the Latin America Broadband report addresses:

Why is the region lagging behind the rest of the world in broadband development?

What were the major causes of the downturns in 2001 and 2003?

Does 2004 mark the start of prolonged broadband growth in Latin America?

What is proving to be the dominant technology platform, DSL or cable Internet?

Who are the leading broadband access providers in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico?

How do broadband prices compare among the leading countries in the region?

What does the future hold?

And many more…

The Latin America Broadband report aggregates the latest data from leading researchers—EIU, Internet World Stats, ITU, Point Topic, PricewaterhouseCoppers, Pyramid Research and many others—with eMarketer’s objective, unbiased analysis to give you the information you need to make well-informed business decisions on the Latin American broadband market.

Canada"s Festival City Edmonton, Alberta Hosts Major Festivals This Summer


Edmonton, AB (Vocus) July 12, 2010

Producers of the major festivals in Edmonton, Alberta also known as Canadas Festival City pride themselves with their committed sense of community spirit and co-operation to ensure success for each individual event, including the Edmonton Street Performers Festival, Edmonton Folk Music Festival, and the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival. They realize there is more power together than apart, a huge key to the growth of each festival year over year.

Edmonton is very special in that our Street Performers festival is among the best in the world, the Fringe is the largest of its type and were the largest festival of our type in the world too. Im proud to be part of that community. Its not a competitive thing,” says Terry Wickham of the famed Edmonton Folk Music Festival. “Its a cooperative thing.

Wickham explains that the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has gladly lent its mobile stage and tents to other festivals. What Wickham sees is how everyone benefits from Edmonton being known as Festival City. Its always having a winning season, he says.

Each of the key festivals Wickham mentions brings a different kind of life, culture and fun to the face of Edmonton each summer. Our theme is Yield to Laughter, says Shelley Switzer, Artistic Producer of the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival. Thats what were all about: laughter, smiles and great times at all our Edmonton events! We give you the opportunity to drop your everyday schedule, to not be tied to the clock, to be connected to the fun and to find fun together with friends, as a family or on a date.

The festival has been bringing the laughter to Edmontons downtown streets for 26 years now. Were now into our third generation of people coming to the festival, says Switzer. Its really something to see how our audience has literally grown with us. People who saw it as kids are now bringing their own kids to it!

Audiences arent the only ones who keep coming back. For the artists, this is one of the top ten in the world, says Switzer. There are literally squeals of delight when I phone the artists and invite them to this festival. There are many, many artists who do not work on the street unless they come to perform at the Edmonton festival.

What the Edmonton Folk Music Festival brings to the city is the music in the great natural venue Edmonton has to offer. Unlike at concerts where youre stuck inside, here youre outside in beautiful Gallagher Park and its more laid back, he says. You can watch an artist on the main stage then wander away, have a coffee or sit on a blanket with your own food.

When youre up on the hill, surrounded by green grass and trees and people dancing, smiling, laughing and loving the music, something magical seems to happen. Wickham is right. Some of that magic has to do with the setting. Youre up high on the hills and you can see the whole North Saskatchewan River Valley, which is probably the most beautiful place in the city. Plus, its got a natural slope so you can see over peoples heads and see the stage better. It helps for acoustics too. Its a natural amphitheatre.

The acts themselves are definitely a big draw. The festival sold out in just a day this year. Its the first time thats happened. We had people from as far away as South Africa purchasing tickets this year! says Wickham. Well, you know, for our Wednesday night performance, Van Morrison is playing for that one night. Thats a big deal.

Right after the Edmonton Folk Festival wraps up, the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival brings more culture, charm, and excitement to Festival City but as Julian Mayne, Executive Director sees it, those adjectives are probably a little weak for an event this crazy. How about chaotic fun? he chuckles. That would be a better way to describe the Fringe! Unexpected would be another! After all, the experience people come for is that theyre paying 12 dollars to get into a show and they really dont know what that show is going to be. Its about being open to the challenge and very likely finding something great!

The odds of finding an incredible show are very high. After all, this is the largest Fringe Festival in Canada and this year its even bigger than ever. We have over 185 shows in total on 42 stages and a grand total of over 1500 performances, says Mayne. We have 11 of our traditional lottery venues where we provide technicians, lights and sound for the artists to work in. The rest are Bring-Your-Own-Venues, which are artist-run venues across the city.

This years Fringe features more international shows than usual 39, in fact, coming from Japan, Argentina, the UK, the US and Israel, to name just a few.

Mayne is expecting a banner year for the Fringe. This festival has been selling around 77,000 tickets per year for about a decade. Last year, over 92,000 tickets were sold. Were looking to break 100,000 tickets sold this year and with all of these Bring-Your-Own-Venues, I think well be able to do it!
