Cablevisi贸n was part of the Grupo Clar铆n, thus Fibertel became part of it.

History

Fibertel started working in 1997, giving service of cable modem. This gave it an edge over contemporary ISP, many of which provided Dial-up Internet access.[4] It was bought in 2003 by Cablevisi贸n, a cable television provider. Cablevisi贸n would be bought later by the Grupo Clar铆n.[2]
