Hi needresearch-ga,
I've been able to find the following links (and quotes) regarding
broadband usage in the countries you are interested in.
Brazil:
According to Pulseonline May 2002:
http://pulse.tiaonline.org/article.cfm?ID=818&keyword=small%20company
"Brazil has no official broadband strategy but a clear trend is
emerging: a strong migration of dial-up modem home users to digital
subscriber line (DSL), and to a lesser extent cable. Of a total of 12
million Internet users, 300,000 have already migrated to high-speed
access services."
later in that same article:
"A Yankee Group report forecasts dramatic broadband subscriber gains
(both for xDSL and cable modems) in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and
Mexico. In Brazil, xDSL subscribers are expected to top one million in
2003 with the number of modems increasing from 60,000 in last year to
827,000 this year."
