Telecom Regulatory Environment
March 2010: New Report: TRE Assessment in Peru 2007-2009
Since 2006 DIRSI and LIRNE.NET have conducted Telecom Regulatory Environment (TRE) assessment studies in six countries in the Latin America and Caribbean region (Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Uruguay).
The Telecom Regulatory Environment (TRE) Assessment methodology was developed by LIRNEasia, a member of the global network LIRNE.NET, as an innovative approach to gaining insight on regulatory performance.

Discussion of TRE evaluations at ACORN-REDECOM
Two of DIRSI's researchers presented reports at a session evaluating the Telecommunications Regulatory Environment (TRE) methodology during ACORN-REDECOM's annual conference in Brasilia on 15 May. The TRE assessment methodology is an innovative approach to gaining insight on regulatory performance and since 2006 DIRSI has conducted TRE assessment studies in a number of Latin America countries.

Peru's Regulatory Environment Shows Slight Improvement
A report just released by DIRSI shows that Peru's regulatory environment has improved slightly during the period from 2007 to 2009. The report, Entorno regulatorio de las telecomunicaciones: Perú 2007-2009 (Telecommunications Regulatory Environment: Peru 2007-2009), prepared by Jorge Bossio, used the Telecom Regulatory Environment (TRE) Assessment methodology that was developed by DIRSI's partner LIRNEasia as an approach to gaining insight on regulatory performance.

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 study clearly shows that the regulatory environment is perceived differently in the two telecom sectors considered. While for fixed line telephony most of the regulation is perceived as "inefficient" or "not very good", for mobile telephony perceptions are broadly favourable.

Regulation and Investment in Telecommunications. The case of Ecuador
|
The results of the study are not very flattering for the country. The general perception is that the regulatory environment has much room for improvement in every area studied and lots of work is left to do. While the survey indicates that the sector perceives that efforts have been made in lowering the barriers to market entry, there are major questions concerning the regulation of anti-competive practices and universal service obligations.
Regulation and Investment in Telecommunications: Bolivia Case Study

The perception of Bolivia's regulatory environment ranges from ineffecient in certain areas to neutral in others. The assessment shows that the regulatory environment has not demonstrated the necessary capacity to bring about an attractive investment environment, a result of the country's perceived high level of regulatory risk. The current political and economic situation is also important as it has a direct influence on investments in the sector.
Regulation and Investment in Telecommunications: Peru Case Study

In general terms Peru's telecommunication regulatory environment is seen to be on the threshold between efficient and inefficient. On the one hand, the most promising results are seen in the perception of the regulation of market entry while on the other hand improvements are required with respect to regulation of anti-competitive practices, with the regulator's actions perceived as inefficient. Overall the effect of Peru's regulatory environment on investment is perceived as neutral, with no relationship between perceived regulatory risk and investment.
