By means of Resolution No. 359/2025, the National Communications Entity (Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones (ENACOM)) approved the National Critical Communications Infrastructure Plan ("Plan"). It aims to accelerate the growth of infrastructure for information technologies and communication (ITC) services to expand connectivity throughout the country, prioritizing less developed areas. To achieve this, financing methods and resource allocation are established.
Digital Argentina Law No. 27,078 sets forth that the development of ITC, telecommunications and associated resources is of public interest, aiming to ensure equal access to quality services for all people. It is within this context that ENACOM has approved this Plan, which promotes the construction of advanced infrastructure, such as data centers and fiber optic networks, through public-private resource allocations to expand connectivity across the country, specifically in underserved areas.
The following are the Plan's aims and specific guidelines:
The Plan states that it is only indicative, which means it allows for the creation of new programs that must align with the following general guidelines: (i) establish supervision and control mechanisms and metrics to evaluate effectiveness; (ii) include direct recipients in hard-to-reach areas; and (iii) certify the progress of the works and provision of the service by an independent third party.
The resolution must be supplemented by further regulations that govern the various programs to implement the Plan.
