Direct peers

• Claro Argentina (América Móvil): Claro Argentina is the principal direct competitor of Telecom Argentina in mobile, fixed broadband, and pay TV. Both companies serve individuals and enterprises across Argentina with mobile networks, fixed broadband, and content offerings, and are now a duopoly post-Movistar consolidation with Claro holding ~42% mobile market share.

Broad incumbents

• América Móvil: América Móvil is the parent of Claro Argentina and the dominant telecom operator across Latin America with mobile, fixed, and pay TV operations in 20+ countries. It is broadly comparable to Telecom Argentina as a wireless carrier and converged services provider but at a much larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Liberty Latin America: Liberty Latin America operates mobile, fixed, and cable/pay TV businesses across the Caribbean, Chile, and Panama under brands like Liberty, C&W, and VTR. Comparable to Telecom Argentina as a converged telecom and pay TV operator in Latin America with overlapping FTTH and enterprise offerings.

Others

• Telefónica HispAm: Telefónica previously operated Movistar Argentina, which Telecom Argentina acquired in February 2025 for $1.25B. Telefónica HispAm remains a relevant peer because it continues to operate Movistar-branded mobile and fixed networks in other Latin American countries with comparable ARPU economics and regulatory dynamics.
• MercadoLibre: MercadoLibre is the largest e-commerce and digital payments platform in Latin America, including Argentina. It is a thematic peer to Telecom Argentina's Personal Pay fintech initiative: both target transactional mobile financial services for Argentine consumers and compete for the same digital wallet / payments wallet share.

Regional players

• Millicom (Tigo): Millicom operates Tigo-branded mobile, broadband, and cable networks across Latin America, with strong presence in Paraguay, Bolivia, Colombia, and Central America. It is comparable to Telecom Argentina as a converged telecom operator with similar emerging-market dynamics, subscription mix, and capex intensity for 4G/5G and fiber.
• Entel Chile: Entel is Chile's largest mobile operator and a major fixed-line and enterprise services provider. It is comparable to Telecom Argentina as a Southern Cone wireless carrier with mobile, FTTH, and enterprise B2B portfolios serving a similar regulatory and macro environment.
• Antel (Uruguay): Antel is the state-owned telecom operator of Uruguay offering mobile, fixed broadband, and pay TV. It is comparable to Telecom Argentina as a regional Southern Cone carrier serving individuals and enterprises with FTTH, mobile, and data services, although operating under a different ownership structure.
• VTR (Liberty Latin America subsidiary): VTR is a leading pay TV and broadband provider in Chile under Liberty Latin America. Comparable to Telecom Argentina's Flow and Fibertel brands as a regional pay TV and FTTH operator serving residential and SMB customers with similar content and connectivity economics.
• Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Bogotá (ETB): ETB is a Colombian state-owned telecom operator offering mobile, fixed, and pay TV services. Comparable to Telecom Argentina as a converged regional telecom provider deploying FTTH and enterprise connectivity solutions across a Latin American emerging market with similar regulatory and competitive dynamics.
