Brazilians own over 227 million phones. Broadband subscriptions are up at record levels and Brazilians are increasingly accessing the internet through their phones or tablets.
The country is the number one app developer in Latin America thanks to the mobile adoption and a nationwide entrepreneurship’s boom.
