ISP experience with network sharing

"We should think that together we can do better things. Often there's fear of sharing. We need to have clear policies to ensure everyone's business. If the investment, which is often idle, cannot be recovered, why not co-invest?" reflected Marcelo Campos, manager of Api Center Group in Mendoza. In his case, the ISP found a niche in gated communities and deployed 80 kilometers of trunk lines.

On the other hand, Lucas Altamirano described Batcom's network as "open," with 26,000 homes passed in Córdoba and a fiber optic ring connecting the sites. To achieve this, they formed a strategic alliance with SiTSA, a company founded in Villa María.

Iván Gutiérrez, president of Intersat, mentioned the case of San Juan, where in 2020 there was a 35% penetration rate and connectivity was the major issue. They developed software for shared networks and, through a contract, managed to interconnect six local companies, setting a market price and establishing that it cannot be sold below that value.
