Argentine telcos seek halved FSU contribution after Starlink deal

Argentine telecom operators, citing the government's recent agreement with Starlink, are pressing Enacom to cut their mandatory contribution to the Universal Service Fund (FSU) from 1% to 0.5% of revenue. The request, previously submitted, gains leverage as the Starlink deal may alter competitive dynamics. If approved, it would reduce funding for rural connectivity and signal a regulatory shift favoring market entrants.
