To support the increasing coverage of fixed broadband services, in September 2020, the Argentinean government announced the launch of a US$500 million (ARS37.9 billion) national connectivity plan, named “Plan Conectar” to improve access to broadband and digital TV services in the country.
As part of this plan, the government announced investment of $244 million (AR$19.9 billion) in the satellite national program (ARSAT), which includes the launch of the third satellite of the country; investment of $165 million (AR$13.2 billion) in the expansion of the national fiber backbone; investment of $54 million (AR$4.3 billion) for the expansion and upgrade of ARSAT’s data center; and investment of $6 million (AR$4.5 billion) to strengthen the terrestrial digital television program.
