The proposal for differentiated charges and the sustainability of rural networks in Peru
|
The development of mobile telephony will inevitably force fixed telephony providers to relocate their installations in other rural communities, which implies transaction costs for the rural operator because of the need to renegotiate and to learn about the new communities in which it will offer its services.
In these cases, the regulator’s proposal for differentiated interconnection charges would be inadequate to address the situation of rural networks, because a comprehensive regulatory framework would be needed for rural areas.
