would be activated, suddenly, the regulatory procedures for approving the sale of MOVILINK owned Movistar, Nextel. The operation was announced in November 2007 and involved the payment of U.S. $ 32 million from customers, infrastructure and spectrum resources of the company trunking. If realized this operation, Movistar would be able to "lose" his leave of spectrum in several key cities across the country: AMBA, Cordoba, Rosario and Mendoza. This hypothetical setting tenure Movistar spectrum would allow to participate in the auction Spectral over from the purchase of Movicom.

Background. In 2003, Telefónica Móviles (TEM) had sold his own company trunking, RMD or Unifón Team, Nextel Argentina ( here ). TEM that company settled for $ 13 million, with clients and network, because he was not willing to invest in the digitization of this tendency. A few months later, in 2003, following the purchase of Movicom by BellSouth, Telefonica Moviles turned to inherit a network of trunking: MOVILINK. In November 2007, TEM also decided to sell those assets to Nextel for $ 32 million.

not so equal. However, the operation was not effective because the regulatory authorities never expressed. Of course, do not know the reasons for the delay. It must be remembered that in 2009 Nextel dropped a Velocom intention to purchase due to lack of official statement on the case. Although the situation now presented MOVILINK Similarly, it should be noted that when cancel the Velocom, Nextel was no longer interested in WiMAX development, the reason I was offered ( here ). For MOVILINK, however, is spectrum in 850 Mhz trunking. While that is a core asset for the principal activity of Nextel, it is known that the operator has its focus on migration WCDMA towards requiring traditional mobile spectrum.

Reasons. However, Nextel would have at least two reasons for not MOVILINK cancel the operation. On the one hand, the purchase will allow you to close the entrance to a potential competitor in the market for local trunking. The issue is not less because there are small operators 2003, after selling Nextel Unifón Team had put the fuss and threaten even to sue the authorities. However, the main reason to buy Nextel MOVILINK would, paradoxically, to facilitate the process of releasing mobile spectrum really interested in purchasing.

Ballast. For local regulation, the spectrum of trunking --SRCE, in the jargon should be added to the calculation of total mobile spectrum cap of each operator. In that sense, he still load MOVILINK Movistar 5 MHz in the AMBA, Mendoza and Rosario, Cordoba 3.5 Mhz and 0.5 Mhz for delineation of the route 9 ( here page 82). Now if you approve the transfer to Nextel, Movistar look that discount the trunking spectrum of CAP. Movistar must be remembered that, after the return of excess spectrum for the purchase of Movicom, has 50 MHz in each of the three areas of the country, the maximum allowed by the rules ( here ). If you deducted that burden would be able to participate - even for a minimal fee - in the competition for the remaining spectrum of the union of Unifón and Movicom.
