The ENACOM regulatory agency has deregulated the pricing of Internet, mobile telephones and cable television as from July, following publication of Resolution 13/2024 in the Official Gazette on the last Thursday of June, with price caps prohibiting double-digit monthly increases now a thing of the past. Last April, an emergency decree had already repealed the 2020 legislation declaring telecommunications a public service, even if it also recommended that the pricing be “fair and reasonable.”
The deregulation comes at a time when a survey by the sector’s CABASE chamber shows around two-thirds of Argentine households (67.5 percent in the case of Internet and 65.3 percent in the case of cable televisión) to be cutting back on the costs of their connectivity.
