Nextel discards possibility to purchase Movilink

The mobile phone company with radio technology, Nextel, has declined to purchase Movilink¿s network  (agreed in 2007) belonging to the former Movicom, given that the National Commission for the Defense of Competition (CNDC) and the Ministry of Communications (SECOM) did not authorize the operation even though it dated back to 2007. Nextel would have paid US$ 32 million to Movilink, which included the portion of spectrum that the company had contracted out as well as antennas and infrastructure.
