What are the factors that explain the use of broadband in Latin America?

The determinants of Internet use are also valid for explaining broadband use.
The most important factors for the probability of using the Internet are the level of qualification, being a student, living in urban areas, or per capita income.
The affordability gap is the most important barrier to the diffusion of broadband in the region.
The high costs and low quality of broadband in most Latin American countries make reducing the affordability gap a public policy objective that requires not only regulatory policies to increase competition but also investment in broadband services.
