Wom, Movistar, Claro and Entel presented offers for 5G

Before the opening of the economic offers, it was learned that despite the controversy carried out by Movistar with Subtel and its attempts to stop the 5G tender - which is still standing -, the operator participates for the most valuable macroband in the world, the 3.5 GHz frequency. This would be explained because if they did not present any envelope at this stage of the tender, they would automatically be excluded from the award of new spectrum. Wom, Claro and Entel also presented offers. Two other companies have indicated their intention to enter, Business Finland of Nordic origin and Horizon Wireless, an Australian company that intends to develop a wholesale offer in Chile.

Government analyzes partial privatization of Copaco

The state operator is going through a delicate moment. Its income does not cover operating expenses and it must fulfil a debt obligation of US$110 million. Furthermore, the lack of investments led to the obsolescence of its infrastructure. Oscar Stark, president of the firm, states that alternatives are being evaluated to obtain the necessary funds, including the possibility of adding private partners. And he believes that in 18 months "the situation will be resolved."
