Argentina - CNC now AFTIC

In accordance to Article 77 of Law Nr. 27078 "Argentina Digital", the FEDERAL AUTHORITY OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATIONS – (In Spanish “AUTORIDAD FEDERAL DE TECNOLOGÍAS DE LA INFORMACIÓN Y LAS COMUNICACIONES” – AFTIC), started its duties on June 1st 2015 and continues with the activities carried out by the former National Communications Commission - CNC. 

Due to the re-organization process at AFTIC, including management structure and staff changes, we may be experiencing some delays in the Homologation of Telecom and Radiocom products for Argentina.
There has been no announcement yet on how product markings will be impacted. We will be following up with this shortly.
