Telecommunications Regulator OSIPTEL Sets Extra Measures to Advance Competition (81KB)
Additional regulatory measures set forth by OSIPTEL in 2005 are gradually taking effect in 2007, as the old telecom model of pre-selected long-distance carriers remains suspended between April 19^th and July 1^st.  The suspension is intended to ease the transition process into a new telecom model that will allow Peruvians to choose their carrier from a pool of 15 companies in a June 2^nd through October 31st timeline – free of charge.  These extra measures are part of OSIPTEL’s 2005-2009 institutional strategy, designed to transform the existing telecommunications industry into a more competitive, pro-investment, anti-monopolistic framework.
