Internet Day 2018

Opportunities for MVNOs in a saturated market

During the "Mobile Internet" panel - The beginning of MVNO in Argentina", Luis Quinelli, CEO of Sion, considered that a new stage is opening for a topic developed in other parts of the world but new in the country. He stressed that, on the one hand, the regulator is promoting MVNOs and, at the same time, MNOs, which have historically been hermetic, are now more flexible to make wholesale offers. Ariel Fernández Alvarado, head of Catel, differentiated between the large urban markets and the interior of the country, where the supply of services is poor. Meanwhile, Joaquin Molina, MVNO consultant, stressed that "the incumbents are interested in the virtual operator business because there are segments they can not penetrate".
