Advances in Telecommunications Infrastructure
The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) is advancing the shared use of active telecommunications infrastructure, with or without spectrum, aiming to regulate in a way that promotes new investments in networks. This initiative also seeks to reduce the prices of the services that the population receives.
In order to gather suggestions and comments from the public, the MTC's digital headquarters has launched a 15-day period for public consultation from the publication date of this Resolution, May 10th, in the El Peruano official newspaper.
In the Supreme Decree that approves the "Standard that regulates the Sharing of Active Infrastructure", it is proposed to regulate the sharing of active infrastructure without radio spectrum and without establishing specific conditions. This regulation also applies to the same type of infrastructure with spectrum, for both rural and urban areas, under certain conditions.
The deadline for public comments is May 25th, as the MTC looks to gather suggestions that could enhance the proposed standard. This new Resolution, titled Ministerial Resolution No. 0558-2023-MTC/01, could pave the way for numerous telecom opportunities and expansions, particularly with investments in networks being among the primary goals.
