This study discusses some empirical findings on telephone and cell phone adoptions in Latin American and Caribbean nations. Exhaustive fixed-effect pooled regressions are undertaken for this set of nations, using data from the World Bank for the period 1989-1999. The results show that telephone and cell phone adoption processes are different in nature. Moreover, diffusion is established to be a major factor in both telephone and cell phone adoptions in the region. Economic conditions as well as privatization also positively impact the adoptions.
