Operators consider fees for operating southern fiber optics expensive

No last-mile operator has yet subscribed to the Austral Fiber Optic project launched a year ago. This is because Comunicación y Telefonía Rural (CTR) offers an excessively expensive contract for low traffic demands in the south and operators do not see any incentive to switch from Argentine to Chilean cable. VTR, GTD, Entel, Claro, Movistar and Wom would agree on this position, who would have asked for modifications. The hardest positions would be those of Movistar and Claro, which have a significant deployment on the Argentine side, built and operated through their subsidiaries. Subtel mediated coordinating a working table in March with the main winners of the FOA projects and the main operators. The regulator acknowledged that they are still closing the terms of the Facilities Offer, which allows operators to contract services.
