Peru could reach 850,000 Internet broadband connections this year

Peru could have 850,000 broadband connections nationwide later this year, which would mean a 10% increase over last year, according to Cisco Peru, a company dedicated to the manufacture, sale, maintenance and consulting on telecommunications technical equipment.
The firm's general manager, Alvaro Merino, said that the goal is to make the Peruvian market reach one million connections by 2010, which would mean more competition.
Cisco Perú presented its Cisco Broadband Barometer for the first half of 2009, which reveals a 6.6% growth in the number of broadband connections in Peru, amounting to 783,000.
However, Cisco Peru's Barometer also shows that penetration of internet in Peru is 2.9% per 100 inhabitants, a figure still way below the countries that lead the broadband penetration in Latin America such as Chile (9.8%), Argentina (9.3 %) and Brazil (5.8%).
