ENTel and the Privatization of Argentine Telecommunications
Abstract
Growing fiscal deficits, persistent economic recession, and underinvestment in the nation's telecommunications infrastructure lead the Argentine government to privatize its state-owned monopoly provider of telecommunications services, ENTel, in late 1990. The privatization process and the resulting ownership structure is complex, and the new regulatory framework appears to offer both significant opportunities and risks for investors.
