And growing customer bases require utilities to adopt larger and more efficient systems. Thus, leaders of Latin American utilities are beginning to see the benefits of automated methods of reporting field events. The use of pen and paper is dwindling, and hand-held computers are becoming widespread. Utilities’ yearly budgets contain large funds for computer and telecommunications hardware and software. In this race to obtain the latest and greatest technologies, the need for guidelines and regulations is significant. In the computer and telecommunications industries, data and protocols typically are based on U.S. standards. Though in metering, utilities follow various models: the northern part of South America uses U.S. types of systems, but the southern region uses European-style systems. Brazil has its own protocols, perhaps slanted toward Europe, but with numerous distinctions. Governments’ interest in advanced technologies is prompted by citizens’ eagerness to enter the high-tech world. Latin America has more than 6 million Internet users – more than the Middle East and Africa combined and about one half of all of Asia. And the number of subscribers is growing exponentially. A perception of local political instability is probably the single most influential factor keeping many foreign investors from entering the Latin American utility market. By nature, investments in utility infrastructures must be long term. Another complicating factor is that Latin American governments historically have viewed infrastructures as national assets, so making these infrastructures independent was considered too economically risky. But the move toward privatization makes this mind-set obsolete. 5.1.5.1.13 Service Providers The following table shows the main AMR service providers for utilities, the used network technology and the country.
