Pioneer has a strong track record of forecasting key trends in regional markets. In 2003, at the bottom of the industry cycle, Pioneer's previous version of this report made a number of predictions for the Caribbean Submarine Fiber Optics market. Some of these predictions seemed incredible at the time but, as the table below shows, fact is often stranger than fiction.
For anyone involved in the Caribbean telecom industry, this study is not only an invaluable reference for this fragmented market but it is also the business planner's trusted guide based on proven quantitative research and analysis of likely market trends.
The report provides profiles of all existing and planned submarine cable systems which serve the Caribbean region and profiles of each island nation with particular focus on submarine fiber optic connectivity and the potential for growth.
