CNT is a mobile network operating in Ecuador. The now state-owned operator entered the market in 2003 as Telecsa S.A. (branded Alegro), the product of Andinatel and Pacifictel S.A. Alegro's 450 MHz CDMA network had limited success and was absorbed by Corporación Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CNT) in 2010 to become a wholly state-owned network.
