Comment

In 2009, Telecom Italia tried to get the Argentinian government's approval to increase the stake at Sofora (company which controls Telecom Argentina's fixed telephony operations).

 

However, the National Commission for the Defence of Competition (CNDC) considered the current presence of Telefonica inside Telecom Italia as a threat to competition. According to the regulator agency, by doing so Telecom Itália would violate antitrust legislation.

 

Now Telecom Itália, with Werthein group (which controls 50% at Sofora), will propose a news deal that would change Telecom Argentina's corporative model and would obey the local competition rules.
