Casetel proposes review of telecommunications service tariffs and adjusting "to the country's reality"

The Chamber of Telecommunications Services Companies (Casetel) proposes a review of tariffs for services offered by the sector, due to an increase in companies' cost structures, mainly caused by the exchange rate gap, explained the guild's president, Juan Andrés Krumins. "We have emphasized reviewing tariffs because it is necessary," highlighted Krumins, who specified that the price adjustment will help improve conditions for closing the "digital divide" in telecommunications in the country. "We must be aware that if we want good service, we also have to pay and adjust to the country's reality," added the executive, who announced that he has already requested meetings with the board of the National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel). Krumins detailed that between July 2024 and July 2025, the sector reported 11% growth, but in the second half of last year, there was a stagnation caused "by a series of macroeconomic barriers, the freezing of tariffs, and difficult access to foreign currency." For 2026, the Casetel representative states that the sector has very positive growth expectations. "We have a sector with extraordinary growth potential, but for that, we need to communicate, sit down and work together, build trust," he said in an interview with Unión Radio.
