From the Zoo.... Gartner Release Below by: Profile_14 11/5/1999 9:59 am EST Msg: 110961 of 110962 GARTNERGROUP'S DATAQUEST SAYS MEXICO DRIVES LATIN AMERICAN PC 11/5/99 8:17 Market to 40 Percent Growth in Third Quarter; Compaq Grew Twice as Fast as the Industry Average SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 1999--Third quarter personal computer shipments in Mexico increased 87 percent over the same period last year, driving Latin American PC shipments to 40 percent growth in the third quarter of this year, according to Dataquest Inc., a unit of Gartner Group, Inc. (NYSE:IT). Latin American PC shipments approached 1.3 million units in the third quarter, and Mexico, with shipments surpassing 433,000 units, accounted for 34 percent of overall shipments in the region. "Within the process of a rapid adoption of technology and renewal of the installed PC base, the development of a nontraditional distribution channel in Mexico is definitely increasing sales of computers, particularly in the consumer market," said Luis Anavitarte, senior industry analyst for Dataquest's Personal Computer Quarterly Statistics Latin America program. "The Telmex-Prodigy Internet Plus deal, with Acer, Compaq, and Apple, where consumers can get a PC and Internet access by making monthly payments via their telephone bill, is working well for vendors and end users. This concept should be applied in other Latin American countries." Compaq experienced the strongest growth among the top-tier vendors, as its shipments increased 84 percent over the third quarter of last year (see Table 1). Acer moved into the No. 2 position because of its strong performance in the Mexican market.
