Regional players

• VTR (Liberty Latin America, Chile): VTR is a leading Chilean cable TV and broadband operator (part of Liberty Latin America). Its pay-TV and broadband focus mirrors CVH's Flow and Cablevisión/Fibertel operations, with comparable ARPU dynamics, content integration strategies, and competitive positioning in its market.
• Millicom (Tigo): Millicom operates Tigo-branded mobile, cable, and broadband services across Latin America with comparable convergent offerings. Although not directly competing in Argentina, its convergent telecom model and regional focus make it a strong operational and strategic comparable for CVH's portfolio.
• Entel Peru: Entel Peru is a major converged telecom operator (mobile, fixed, internet, TV) in Peru with a similar product portfolio to CVH's Personal, Cablevisión/Fibertel, and Flow brands. As a publicly traded Latin American telecom, it provides a regional comparable for convergent service strategy and scale.
• Liberty Latin America: Liberty Latin America operates cable, broadband, and mobile services across the Caribbean and Latin America (including VTR in Chile, Liberty in Puerto Rico, C&W). Its convergent telecom and cable TV portfolio across multiple LatAm geographies provides a directly comparable business model to CVH's Flow/Personal/Telecom structure.

Direct peers

• Telefónica (Hispam/LatAm): Telefónica previously operated mobile services in Argentina through Telefónica Móvil Argentina (TMA), which CVH's subsidiary acquired for USD 1.245 billion in Feb 2025. As a former direct mobile competitor and current LatAm-focused telecom operator, it is a highly comparable peer with similar product offerings across the region.
• Telecom Argentina S.A. Telecom Argentina is CVH's core operating subsidiary (39.08% equity stake) and the entity through which CVH operates all of its telecom services. As a publicly traded Argentine telecom operator with mobile, broadband, and pay-TV, it serves as the primary direct functional equivalent and economic driver of CVH.
• América Móvil (Claro Argentina): América Móvil operates Claro in Argentina, directly competing with CVH's Personal mobile brand and cable/broadband services. As one of Latin America's largest telecom operators with mobile, fixed, and TV services, it is the most direct head-to-head competitor across CVH's product portfolio in Argentina.

Broad incumbents

• Grupo Televisa (Izzi Telecom): Izzi (subsidiary of Grupo Televisa) operates cable TV, broadband, and mobile services in Mexico with a comparable convergent offering. While focused on Mexico rather than Argentina, the operational profile of integrated cable/broadband/mobile parallels CVH's strategy closely.
• DIRECTV Latin America (Vrio): DIRECTV Latin America (now part of Vrio) is a major satellite pay-TV provider across Latin America, including Argentina. While using satellite rather than cable, it directly competes with Flow in pay-TV and represents a comparable content distribution and subscriber economics business model.

Others

• Grupo Clarín: Grupo Clarín is the media conglomerate from which CVH was spun off in 2017 and remains CVH's largest shareholder group. Although not a direct competitor, Grupo Clarín operates in adjacent media/content distribution spaces and provides institutional context for CVH's strategy and ownership structure.
