Argentina: ENACOM repeals ITC Services’ pricing regulations

By and 1 Min Read

In brief

Through Resolution No. 13/2024 (“Resolution“), the National Communications Authority (ENACOM) repealed certain resolutions that regulated the fixing of prices of information and communication technology services (“ITC Services“).

In depth

Pursuant to Decree No. 302/2024, the National Executive Power deregulated ITC Services, modifying Argentine Digital Law No. 27,078 and repealing Decree No. 690/2020, which eliminated the power of ENACOM to regulate prices. The Resolution seeks to promote the expansion of services, fostering a more competitive environment in the ITC industry.

To regulate such elimination, the Resolution repealed these resolutions that regulated prices of ITC Services, including telephony, internet and cable TV services: ENACOM No. 1,466/2020, No. 27/2021 (ratified by Resolution ENACOM No. 170/2021); No. 28/2021 (ratified by Resolution ENACOM No. 163/2021); No. 203/2021; No. 204/2021 (ratified by Resolution ENACOM No. 588/2021); No. 862/2021; No. 2. 187/2021 (ratified by Resolution ENACOM No. 275/2022); No. 725/2022 (ratified by Resolution ENACOM No. 1,174/2022); No. 1,754/2022; No. 2,393/2022; No. 2,494/2022 (ratified by Resolution ENACOM No. 409/2023); No. 557/2023; and No. 323/2021.
