Introduction
The National Communications Entity (ENACOM) has authorized the arrival of OneWEB, Starlink, and Amazon Kuiper, aiming to provide a new avenue for internet access through satellite technology. With this innovative approach, Argentina expands its access routes to include not just mobile internet and fiber optics, but also satellite connectivity.
Benefits of Satellite Internet
This decision marks the beginning of a technological opening, resulting in more alternatives for connecting individuals and businesses throughout the country, even in remote locations. It is set to foster greater competition among market players, allowing users to choose from better digital services that adhere to high-quality standards across Argentina.
One of the significant advantages of satellite internet is its capability to deliver connectivity to areas where other broadband technologies may be lacking. This technology can reach remote regions, facilitating access to the global network and enabling people and companies to engage with the digital realm.
Market Opportunity
The opening of the internet service market presents a valuable opportunity for companies to consider offering broadband internet services in urban, suburban, and remote areas where fiber coverage is limited. This development is indeed positive for both the Argentine population and the companies providing these services.
