Argentine cable TV company Supercanal, which is owned by media conglomerate Grupo Uno, has applied to take part in the country’s upcoming auction of wireless spectrum in the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands, NexTV Latam reports, citing Sebastian D’Alessandro, marketing manager of Uno Media. If successful in the tender, the company plans to use the spectrum to offer mobile telephony services, which would enable it to become Argentina’s first provider of quad-play packages. D’Alessandro said that Supercanal, which operates in several regions of the country, including Mendoza, Catamarca, Cordoba, La Rioja, Santa Fe, San Juan and Tucuman, would expect to launch its mobile service 24 months after receiving the required frequencies.*TeleGeography’s GlobalComms Database states that the mobile spectrum up for sale had been returned to communications ministry Secretaria de Comunicaciones (SeCom) following the merger of cellcos Telefonica Comunicaciones Personales Argentina (TCP, formerly Unifon) and Movicom BellSouth in early 2005.
