Abstract :
The electricity demand forecast can be used profitably, either as a short-cut or as a long-term effort, in telephone demand forecasting. Preliminary application of such effort to two Latin American countries offers fruitful insight and results. Further research in this area may pave the way to useful collaboration between planners in energy and telecommunications development projects.
