ANTEL (Administración Nacional de Telecomunicaciones) is Uruguay's government-owned telecommunications company. It was founded in 1974. The company has the monopoly of land line telephony services in the country. They also provide (in direct competition with Claro and Movistar) cellular telephony services and broad range of Internet related services, being the major provider in both cases.

Failed privatization

In 1992, under the presidency of Luis Alberto Lacalle, a privatization of all government-owned companies was attempted. However, a later referendum revoked the privatizations law, being Pluna the only company to be successfully privatized to Varig. Fact|date=August 2008

Antel owns Uruguay's tallest skyscraper, the Telecommunications Tower, which has 160 meters and 35 floors. It is the tallest building in the country. It was designed by architect Carlos Ott. It is situated by the side of Montevideo's bay.
