Sutel seeks to limit spectrum concentration whereby state operator will not be able to participate as it has over 140 MHz. The regulator announced a tender with flexible specifications for entry of a new player, but Movistar and Claro need more spectrum for 4G and are the prime candidates.

Until 1 September stakeholders have time to send requests for clarification or changes to the pre-call of the License for the Use and Exploitation of Radio Spectrum for the provision of Telecommunications Services through the implementation of IMT systems. The Superintendence of Telecommunications (Sutel), will evaluate comments for one month and then the final specifications will be published; there, the minimum prices for each block of 5+5 (40 MHz in 1800 and 30 MHz in 1900/2100) for LTE will be detailed. The regulator expects the tender to start in the first months of 2017.
