Interconnection impasse: Claro, Tigo reluctant to cooperate with Partners

摘要

Chris Bannister, the CEO of Colombian newcomer Partners, has informed La Republica that both Claro and Tigo have refused to sign interconnection agreements with it to date, meaning that Movistar is the sole national operator to agree terms. The executive added that 'conflict meetings' with the Communications Regulatory Commission (Comision de Regulacion de Comunicaciones, CRC) came to nothing, with Claro claiming that its only lawyer was otherwise engaged and unable to attend the talks.
