Brazil and Chile to eliminate roaming fees under new FTA

摘要

Brazil and Chile have agreed to end international roaming charges between the two countries as part of a free trade agreement (FTA) signed this week. Under the deal, roaming fees will be wiped out once the pact has been in effect for two years. Meanwhile, the FTA facilitates greater cross-border competition and integration, with the Chilean government noting in a statement that the pact allows SMEs to participate in public tenders under the same conditions as local suppliers and will 'facilitate operations for Chilean service providers and digital products in bilateral electronic trade'.
