Executive Session: Scaling Latin America's Digital Backbone

To achieve meaningful connectivity, Latin American nations should transition to a "light-touch" regulatory model that provides the legal certainty necessary to attract large-scale capital. This roundtable assembles global content leaders and regional regulators to discuss possible holistic infrastructure policies that treat subsea cables, edge computing, and data centers as private, complementary assets rather than public utilities. By avoiding over-regulation and moving beyond "fair share," "codes of conduct," and "arbitration" debates, the region can preserve the agility of these private networks to meet innovative data demands. The common goal should be to ensure that legal friction does not stall the deployment of the essential digital layers required to bridge the usage gap and drive socio-economic inclusion for all citizens ensuring universal and meaningful connectivity.
