This book provides a comprehensive view of what individual Latin American countries are doing to build a telecommunications capability. Covering such countries as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and Venezuela, the contributors address the complicated economic and policy issues of each nation's telecommunications. The editor and his staff have skillfully integrated the chapters into a coherent volume, keeping the information accessible to non-specialists. Underlying the book is the theme that telecommunications is an essential infrastructure necessary for successful economic development.
