All this with permission de giant both Chinese de the sector, China Mobile and China Unicom.
Antonio Viana is one de the executive escasísimos whose maternal language is not the Castilian, that has managed to have star in the Spanish enterprise panorama. Portuguese de birth, arrived at Telephone from the hand de Juan Villalonga and now he counts on the total endorsement To stop Alierta. Like the present president de the company, Viana cultivates a low prdeile. It kills but them being silent.
In a measurement operation, conducted with exquisite operative aggressiveness and taken care de financier, the leadership in telephony has taken control de the purchase rights on the ten cellular operators who her American competitor Bellsouth had in other so many countries de Central America and South America, riveting in the cellular business fixes that Telephone already it had won to pulse during the previous years in that one subcontinent.
In a first blow, implemented the last, Telephone week Moving bodies has devoured the branchs de Bellsouth in Ecuador, Panama and Guatemala. Before it finalizes the month in course will close the substantial part de this macro operation when acquiring other five companies in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Nicaragua and Uruguay.
“CHILEAN RESISTANCE” AND ARGENTINA
The other two societies including in the package, those de Argentina and Chile, present/display a greater complexity in their procedure. Moving bodies have preferred to attack in this against a different rate, without mortgaging the future de the other eight, to which it wants to integrate in his group with urgency.
The problems which it faces in the South Cone have to do with the dominion position that Telephone it now owns in the markets Chilean and Argentine, that already have created to him more de a worry before the respective authorities de the competition.
Once Movable it manages to make the digestion de the feast that is occurring at the cost de the old assets and Bellsouth, it can assure that it has added to his portfolio de clients 10.5 million new cellular clients.

Thus, little by little, and to the confusion, Telephone Moving bodies have managed to hold fast like first cellular operator de Latin America and, which seemed almost impossible, in the second western group by number de clients de movable telephony.
In this type de statistics, from now on and in the future more and more, it will be necessary to give a special treatment to the Chinese operators, who within a lustrum are incorporating de massive form to the vice de moving body to a portion de the inhabitants de that one country that adds 1,210 million souls.
