Aeropuertos Argentina 2000,the holding led by Julio Ernesto Gutiérrez Conte, is taking significant steps in its efforts to growas a company.
The meetings the company hasbeen holding with Telecom Italia and the Werthein family to acquire one of thetwo largest telecommunications companies in Argentina seem to clearly show that.
It is one of the majortelecommunications companies in the country. As such, until the third quarterof 2008 it recorded net sales for nearly $ 7.8 billion and profits for $800million. Accordingly, this means 60% more than the figures recorded for thesame period in 2007.
The struggle for Telecom Argentina is near its inflection point.This is why developments are taking place swiftly and somewhat disorderly.However, it is worth highlighting at this point that there were only threeparties involved in the conflict until now. They were the Werthein family,Telecom Italia, and the Government. Rumors pointed to a number of names forprospective agreements. However, no specific offer has been made so far. Despiteall this, a local group, AA2000, echoed for the first time the opportunity of the business that Telecom representsin the country and clearly shows it has now targeted the telephone company.
