UNE EPM president, Horacio Vélez, said that the plan to launch LTE is still on schedule and for next September they will launch the service commercially. The main aim of the company in Medellin is to reach a 15% market share in Bogota.

Based on this infrastructure, UNE seeks to position itself as the third fixed-mobile player in the country. The official even mentioned that the state company and a subsidiary of Millicom could become UNE Tigo or only UNE.

Concerning the Vive Digital plan, launched last October, Velez said in an interview to “La República” that “the numbers can be made, but it is important to increase the coverage of networks to bring connectivity to areas such as SMEs and lower strata”.
