EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

There's a growing tension - and opportunity - created by the dichotomy between the promise of technology and the barriers to its adoption in Latin America. Internet usage is growing rapidly, Spanish-language content sites are proliferating and e-commerce revenues are strong. But the lack of telephone lines and low PC penetration in many of the region's countries present barriers to further growth.

The eLatin America Report examines both aspects of the internet economy in the region - the opportunity and the obstacles. It covers the region, country by country, with particular emphasis on the weight of the region's three largest markets: Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Together, these three countries account for 65 percent of the area's 15.3 million active internet users. Brazil alone has 40 percent of the total user population and nearly 70 percent of total e-commerce revenues.

You'll discover:
- The impact wireless services will have on Latin American internet usage
- Which countries have the necessary infrastructure for significant growth
- Where Latin American buyers shop online
- The obstacles to B2C revenue growth
- B2B potential in the region
- The promise of broadband technology
- Barriers to online advertising
- The most popular Brazilian websites
- Where Mexican users log on
- Who's banking online and where
