After the proposal of the three telecoms (Vivo, Tim, and Claro) secured the stalking-horse bid, Highline started to signal its interest in acting as a provider of infrastructure for operators. However, the company still maintained its proposal by Oi on the table.
But in an interview with Teletime portal, Highline’s strategy and new business director, Luis Minoru Shibata, clearly stated that the company “has no intention of revising the current proposal or participating in the auction.”
In addition to securing the stalking-horse bid to acquire Oi’s tower assets (TowerCo), the company is waiting for the stage of sending binding proposals for fiber optic assets (InfraCo).
