Orrick LLP

Orrick Lawyer Predicts Impact of 3G Networks in Latin America
New York global finance partner Mary Rose Brusewitz participated in a question and answer dialogue about the launch of 3G networks in Latin America and their impact on the region.

"Once again, cell phone technology will permit the region to leap frog developed countries. There is a chance to apply lessons from elsewhere as the evolutionary process into 3G continues," Brusewitz stated. "Easier access to the Internet will benefit many, but especially the poor and rural users. In many countries, even the less fortunate have cell phones. Building on the cell phone base will permit lifestyle and economic benefits from Internet access to be more widely shared.
