Abstract: Resumen: Estudiamos la evolución reciente de la prestación y regulación de servicios de infraestructura en Argentina. Nos concentramos tras un análisis global del proceso, en cuatro servicios domiciliarios: electricidad, gas natural de red, telecomunicaciones y agua y saneamiento. Mostramos los cambios de enfoque y el fracaso de sucesivas políticas de signos contrarios. Evidenciamos que la situación macroeconómica no ha sido ajena a la imposibilidad de tener servicios públicos autofinanciados, eficientes y accesibles, en particular el uso de controles sobre las tarifas como herramienta antiinflacionaria. Abstract: We study the recent evolution of the utilities services and regulation in Argentina. We focus, after a global approach to the issue in four domiciliary services: electricity, natural gas by piped network, telecommunications and water and sanitation. We show the changing policy approach and the failure to successive contradictory policies. We highlight the connection between these failures in having self-financing, efficient and affordable services, and macroeconomic problems, particularly, the use of tariff control as an anti-inflationary tool.
