Movistar goes to the Supreme Court to prevent Entel and Claro from having an advantage in 5G

Movistar presented before the Free Competition Defense Court a copy of the claim that it submitted to the Supreme Court, within the framework of its consultation on the possession of the 3.5 GHz band and the advantages of current concessionaires to deploy 5G at the national level. Movistar's fear is that the execution of the freezing resolution could eventually “anticompetitively” privilege companies such as Entel and Claro, which currently own a percentage of this spectrum. In the document presented, Movistar asks the Supreme Court to order the Undersecretariat of Telecommunications to oversee the use of the 3.5 GHz band, in addition to establishing that the Undersecretariat make explicit in current rules of the contest “equal conditions for all contestants, including current dealers.”
