share, postpaid versus prepaid). Big dominating operator or
not.
• The Argentine telephone
system was privatized
during the 1990s.

a change in the numbers of
landlines and a marked
growth in the mobile
telephony market since the
economic recovery.
The Federal Authority of Information and
Communication Technologies
• The Federal Authority of Information and Communication
Technologies (AFTIC) was a public body of Argentina, created in
2014 to ensure the development of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) throughout the Argentine
territory to ensure access to all the citizens. In 2016 it was merged
with the AFSCA, giving rise to the National Communications
Agency.
Mobile business: Is it autonomous? Is it
integrated with fixed lines, ISP, TV?

integrated into some
operators such as cla-r-
o or movistar although
on the other hand it is
led by another operator
which provides the
television and internet
service which is the
ENTel group.
