Abstract
AbstractThe role of academic network systems was pivotal for the development and expansion of Internet in Latin America. Most of the first Internet points‐of‐presence (POPs) in the region were implemented within the academic and scientific community. Today, deregulation is fostering a wave of competition and privatization through the region. The academic networks are facing a more competitive regulatory environment on the one hand, but also facing strong monopolies of basic telecom services on the other hand. It is necessary for regulatory agencies to establish and enforce clear and open regulations to help the survival of the academic networks. However, it is also necessary for the academic Internet providers to implement creative and aggressive strategies to continue providing communications services to universities, high schools and research and scientific institutions.
