On September 14, 2026, the Brazilian competition authority Cade cleared Claro Brasil's acquisition of a 73% stake in publicly listed broadband provider Desktop without remedies. The deal, valued at BRL 4 billion with a mandatory public offering for remaining minority shares, received approval after Cade evaluated conditions imposed by the country’s telecom agency and found a low risk of market power abuse across overlapping fixed broadband markets in 198 Sao Paulo municipalities. Earlier, on September 9, Claro Brasil agreed to a sponsorship and technology supplier deal with Nubank Parque in Sao Paulo, introducing commercial 5.5G and a Wi-Fi 6 network to Palmeiras’ home stadium. Previously, on September 8, Colombia's communications sector watchdog CRC published a technical opinion warning of "significant" vertical risks posed by Claro's proposed acquisition of wholesale fibre provider Azteca Comunicaciones. Claro had earlier announced its intent to acquire the telecommunications assets of Azteca Comunicaciones Colombia and Total Play Comunicaciones Colombia from Mexican conglomerate Grupo Salinas. On September 4, Claro Colombia activated its 5G network in over 100 cities across the country, up from 78 in July.
