The government has published the National Telecommunications and Connectivity Plan, which promotes the development of new fixed networks and 4G technology. A reduction in the flat rate for the wholesale Internet service marketed through Arsat meant that rates fell from US$14 to US$10 per Mbps. This will benefit more than 550 localities connected to the Federal Internet Plan. A new schedule has also been published for the rollout of 4G. It covers 1,713 cities with more than 10,000 inhabitants, 9,961 kilometers of road, and 200 small tourist towns. By the end of 2019, 90% of people will be connected to 4G.

The Argentine Digital Agenda is set to contribute to more and better ICT in Argentina. It aims to increase the country’s competitiveness and productivity through an improvement in the efficiency and efficacy of the services provided through ICT. This will be achieved through improvements in telecommunications infrastructure and mechanisms to support technological innovation in the private sector, with support for SMEs. It will also increase citizen participation in the development process and build stronger relationships between the government, citizens, and the private sector.
