Colombia Móvil was established in January 2003 after being awarded its national Personal Communications Service (PCS) license.

The operator began as a joint venture between the fixed-line operator ETB (50%) and the public services and telecommunications group Empresas Públicas de Medellín (50%).

Colombia Móvil commenced operations in late 2003 under the OLA brand.

The company's shareholders secured the license through a public auction, paying US$56 million to become the country's first PCS operator.

Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM) and ETB each owned 50% of OLA's shares.

The awarding of this license had been delayed since 1997 due to various lawsuits filed by the incumbent cellular operators, Comcel and Celumóvil.

These companies had maintained a duopoly since 1994, charging exorbitant rates to users.

This situation caused significant technological stagnation for the country compared to the rest of the world and even within the region.

In 2004, OLA successfully launched its "Pioneros" plan, which promoted calls between the company's phones at $30 per minute.

The network and service infrastructure were only designed to handle half the volume of subscribers.
