). As per a consolidation law, an acquiring operator could only have a maximum of 130MHz. ASEP indicated during 2024 that the spectrum cap should be understood as dynamic depending on the amount of spectrum allocated for mobile services. Currently such cap is 180 MHz per operator. ASEP is in the process of modifying a resolution that will modify the National Frequency Allocation Plan by: (i) allocating an additional 490 MHz for mobile services (300 MHz in the 3500 MHz Band and 190 MHz in the 2500 MHz Band); (ii) allocating 100 MHz in the 2300 MHz Band for private networks; (iii) allowing fixed wireless access with the mobile spectrum already allocated; and (iv) defining the use of the 6 GHz Band initially as unlicensed free spectrum. At the same time, telecommunications operators are requesting the definition of a lower price for radio spectrum in the medium bands, where ASEP has shown receptivity to formulate a proposal for analysis by the Ministry of Economy and Finance in order to encourage investment for the deployment of new technologies and strengthening of the current network.

Concessions. C&W Panama holds thirteen concessions renewed for the following twenty years, available until the year 2037, except a pay TV license that was renewed in 2008 for 25 years. C&W Panama decided not to renew the concessions corresponding to discontinued or not provided services (facsimile retransmission service and conventional trunk systems service for public or private use), and the Concession #104 (Pay Phone Services), was renewed under special conditions imposed by the regulator. As part of the consolidation process of the mobile market, the unification of  C&W Panama and Claro Panama’s concession is part of the actions to be executed in 2025.

Public Telephone Service. C&W Panama is the only operator that provides Public Telephone Service in Panama. Since 2021, efforts have been made with the regulatory authority to obtain authorization for disconnection and/or relocation of public phones, and in 2022, C&W Panama obtained approval to remove 4,005 out of 9,178 public phones. A proposed 2025 disconnection schedule has been presented that includes a total of 3,187 telephones, which will gradually be submitted for ASEP approval to complete their disconnection.

Fixed Services (Fixed-Line Telephony, Public and Semipublic Telephone). C&W Panama has a license to provide Basic Local, National and International Telecommunications Services, as well as Public and Semipublic Terminals
