At the meeting of the connectivity sector, held within the framework of the PDEP 2026-2030, the strategy and its components linked to the transversal axis of connectivity were shared, aimed at strengthening digital infrastructure throughout the provincial territory and deepening the modernization of the La Pampa State.

“This is a sector that impacts the competitiveness of all productive sectors and the quality of life of the people of La Pampa. In this sense, actions aimed at developing and expanding the wholesale and retail connectivity network, generating incentives for the expansion of the mobile network and strengthening connectivity were presented, giving continuity to current policies and projecting a planning horizon towards 2030,” commented the executive director of the I-COMEX Agency, Sebastián Lastiri, to the Provincial News Agency (APN)

Meanwhile, the head of EMPATEL, Andrés Zulueta stressed that “in 2025 La Pampa reached 150,271 internet connections, which meant 7,556 new users compared to 2024, consolidating a policy of federalization of connectivity. Likewise, during the last year, the average download speed doubled in 20 of the 22 departments (from 41.72 Mb/s to 81.43 Mb/s), with substantial improvements in 73 of the 80 localities in La Pampa.”

In relation to the wholesale network, the expansion of the infrastructure and the continuity of the second Connectivity Plan, which foresees having a direct international outlet in 2026, were highlighted. In terms of mobile coverage, the incorporation of new localities with less than 500 inhabitants was mentioned, contributing to improving access to communications with territorial equity and advances in life quality.

Those present in the meeting stressed the importance of deepening public-private synergy as a necessary condition for joint planning of the sector, aimed at strengthening the competitiveness and quality of telecommunications services in the province. The value of encouraging agreements and cooperation schemes between private actors that promote competition in a balanced and sustainable framework was highlighted, safeguarding the development of SMEs and cooperatives in the sector and protecting associated jobs against the eventual arrival and expansion of national telecommunications monopolies in the provincial territory.
