Today the Global Media & Internet Concentration Project<https://gmicp.org/> is releasing three new reports - and updating two others - that portray recent development and concentration trends in a swathe of communication, internet and media industries:


-  The Austria report<https://gmicp.org/communications-media-and-internet-concentration-in-austria-2019-2022> was prepared by: Sergio Sparviero; Mariia Aleksevych; Christian Wazner; Tales Tomaz; Josef Trappel, all University of Salzburg


-  The Chile report<https://gmicp.org/communications-media-and-internet-concentration-in-chile-2019-2021> was prepared by: Guillermo Mastrini; Martín Becerra, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes; Ana Bizberge, Universidad Nacional de San Martín; Ornela Carboni, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes; Agustín Espada, CONICET; Florencia Sosa, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes.


 - The Mexico report<https://gmicp.org/communications-media-and-internet-concentration-mexico-report-2019-2022/> was prepared by Rodrigo Gómez, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Cuajimalpa; Argelia Muñoz-Larroa, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México-CISAN; Orlando Rizo Mendoza, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Cuajimalpa; Carlos Pérez Cerón, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco


 - The previously released Australia<https://gmicp.org/communications-media-and-internet-concentration-in-australia-2019-2022/> and China<https://gmicp.org/communications-media-and-internet-concentration-in-china-2019-2021/> reports have just been updated and are also newly available.

These follow editions we have published in the last few months on the state of media and internet concentration in India, Canada, Italy, France and South Korea. Others will be out soon - including the United States,Turkey, Denmark, Portugal and Spain - with the end goal a library of regularly updated reports for all of the nearly 40 countries that make up the GMICP.

These reports are rich with insights into growth and concentration trends within media and communication sectors in these countries, as well as key regulatory developments. For instance:


-   Chile leads the continent in per-capita mobile and internet access, this despite high ownership concentration in these sectors and limited regulatory guardrails

 - MVNOs represent a burgeoning presence in the Mexican wireless sector, with 9% of subscriber lines in 2023, catalysed in large part by the government's Red Compartida public infrastructure project

 - Austria shares some similarities with the Mexican case in that Carlos Slim's subsidiary, A1, dominates both wireline and wireless in the same way that America Movil does in its home country

 - Familiar US tech giants dominate core internet sectors in all of these markets, although all 3 research teams report the same problem of a lack of transparency in data disclosed by these companies

Finally:


-  Please review any of our reports and the underlying data sets here<https://gmicp.org/reports-2/>.


-  We invite other researchers to contribute their expertise to our efforts – please reach out to us here<https://gmicp.org/contact-us/>.
