Telecommunications Regulatory Environment: Peru 2007-2009
|
Original Title: Entorno regulatorio de las telecomunicaciones: Perú 2007-2009
The TRE methodology is based on the assumption that investment is a necessary condition for good telecom sector performance, and investment decisions are influenced by perceptions of investment risk. Using interviews and a questionnaire administered to a statistically significant cross-section of industry stakeholders and experts, the TRE assessment traverses six dimensions of regulatory risk for both the fixed and mobile sectors.
The new report, the second assessment of Peru's regulatory environment, reports that the overall influence of the regulatory environment in Peru has improved since the previous assessment (2006-2007) but remains neutral – neither encouraging nor discouraging investment. There is positive movement in the perception of market entry regulation, but also a perception that improvements are required in regulation governing anti-competitive practices.
