OSIPTEL has opened an early consultation to assess whether Peru's 2016 Net Neutrality Regulation should be updated in light of major technological and market changes.

The authority notes that national internet traffic is now approximately 40 times higher than in the earlier market context, FTTH connections are approaching four million, mobile networks have evolved toward 5G and AI and ultra-high-definition streaming have become routine.

The consultation seeks evidence on incentives and conditions that could inform a future review, including new mobile-network functions and newer fiber-access standards, while preserving open-internet principles. Comments are due September 24, 2026.

This is a pre-draft evidence-gathering exercise and does not change any current rule.

Impact

Impact assessment: Medium.

Key reasons: a future reform could affect network-management practices and commercial models across fixed and mobile internet access, but the authority is still gathering evidence before drafting rules.

Who is affected?

Internet access providers, network vendors, content and application providers, and users.

Conclusion:

parties with 5G, fiber, traffic-management or service-innovation evidence should respond by September 24 while continuing to apply the current 2016 regulation.
