债务危机爆发后,拉美国家纷纷进行了以国有企业私有化和经济对外开放为主要内容的改革,信息和通信技术(ICT)产业改革是其重要组成部分。改革过程中,在拉美国家一系列吸引外资政策引导下,大量外资涌入拉美信息和通信技术产业,对这一产业的发展产生了重大影响。进入21世纪,私有化改革基本结束,尽管吸引外资的政策并未出现变化,但拉美国家更希望通过引进外资推动本国的技术进步。这种态度上的转变将在很大程度上对拉美地区ICT产业外资的流入规模和结构产生影响。随着以3G移动通信技术为代表的新的通信技术在拉美地区的推广,这种变化将会逐渐凸显。

1982’s debt crisis forced LAC countries into structural reforms based on privatizing SOEs and liberalizing their economies. ICT sector reform constitutes an important component of the mentioned overall economic reform. During the process,huge amounts of foreign capital flooded in ICT industries in response to foreign capital friendly policies adopted by LAC countries and played important roles in promoting LAC’s ICT development. As the privatization came to an end at the threshold of XXI century,LAC countries switched the tone of their policies by putting more emphasis on attracting foreign capital that may boost technology progress. Although no major changes have been found in LAC countries’ overall policy arrangement,this fine-tuned gesture will impact the structure and volume of foreign capital inflows to ICT sector. Moreover,as 3G technology is gaining popularity among LAC countries,this impact will become even more obvious.
