According to ABC.com.py, Paraguay’s Standing Committee of the National Parliament has requested that the country’s telecoms regulator Consejo Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (Conatel) supplies it with full details of the pending transfer of frequencies in the 900MHz band from dormant wireless licensee Compania Privada de Comunicaciones (CPC) – which is owned by diversified local conglomerate the Rieder Group – to mobile operator Tigo Paraguay. The controversial deal, which was agreed in November 2011, caused ructions amongst Tigo’s rivals in the wireless sector, with Mario Esquivel, CEO of Vox, the market’s smallest player, admitting that his company contacted Conatel back in September 2010 with a view to cancelling Rieder’s unused licence in order to ‘distribute the frequency equitably’. Local media reports have suggested that Tigo intends to use the spectrum to deploy a 4G network based on Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology
