Etapatelecom

Etapatelecom was spun off as a private company from ETAPA in 2002 so that it could sell telecommunications services across Ecuador, not just in Cuenca. The company expanded into other cities such as Quito and Guayaquil; [2] however, the business plan was unsuccessful and by 2009 Etapatelecom had generated US$10 million dollars in losses. The company was merged back into ETAPA in 2010 where it now operates as a business unit. [3]
