Unlike Red Compartida, wherein existing operators could not participate, all telecommunication companies will be able to take part in the tender to sign a Public-Private Partnership with the Government and manage and operate Telecomm backbone network. There will also be no limitation for foreign investment. Although in any case the Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (Telecom regulator) will conduct an economic and competence analysis of the participants, said Jorge Espinosa, director of Telecomm Backbone Network.
