Brazil adopted new implementing rules on how to spend the universal service fund, while Argentina increased the budget for its universal service programmes. Colombia adopted new rules for interconnection and satellite services, and consulted on changes to its quality of service regime.
Regulators in Brazil cleared the acquisition of Oi by Claro, Vivo and TIM, while the Chilean ministry announced the complete deployment of the Southern Optical Fibre project.
