Sebastián Cabello, GSMA director for Latin America, said that "spectrum kept is money that the State does not receive, investments that are not made and users that do not receive a better service" and he spoke about the need to deploy infrastructure and promote innovation and development. As explained during the conference on mobile networks and social impact, operators need spectrum in low bands for routes, for example; in medium bands for cities or urban centers and will require millimeter bands for 5G deployment. In addition, he insisted on the fact that the regulatory framework must measure up to the task and not delay the sector and that it is important to generate a legal framework so that laws do not have to be modified with each change of government. With respect to taxes, he said that they are very high and represent 42% of the cost, and that there are many services from abroad that do not pay at all.

During his participation in the opening conference "The state of the industry", Carlos Moltini, CEO of Telecom, highlighted both claims: "There is spectrum, but it has to be in the companies", he said. And he related these needs to the crisis the country is currently going through: "the economy is key because the investments are made in dollars", he said. He also showed his annoyance about the tax obstacles and stressed they are "absurd, with distortion and unique", unlike other countries in the region.

In the same vein, Michel O'Hara, CMO of GSMA, said that the new presidents of the countries of the region will have the opportunity to reconfigure the appropriate regulatory frameworks for the digital world, reduce the tax burden and offer more spectrum.
