📋 Tender Overview
Telecommunications have revolutionized the way we interact in the world. We have gone from forming long queues to make a call on a pay phone to having mobile devices through which we carry out various social and economic activities. To reflect on this dynamic and fundamental sector for the development of society, the Supervisory Agency for Private Investment in Telecommunications (OSIPTEL) will organize the International Forum on the Past and Future of Telecommunications in Peru.
This international event will be held on Thursday, March 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:40 p.m., at the Lima Convention Center, in San Borja, and will be led by the executive president of the regulatory body, Rafael Muente Schwarz, who will reflect on the 30 years of regulation of the Peruvian telecommunications market.
"In the technological leaps of recent decades, something that has remained constant is the mission and commitment of OSIPTEL, as a regulator of public telecommunications services, to create the right conditions for Peruvians to have effective and quality communication, through a regulation that promotes the competition and dynamism of operating companies," Muente Schwarz said.
He added that the discussion on ways to advance in a modern regulation that allows a future with more Peruvians connected, through this forum, becomes even more relevant after the 30 years of institutional life of the telecommunications regulator.
The international event will also address topics such as the sustainable digital future, with the participation of the representative for South America of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Sergio Scarabino; and the dependence, institutionality and successful regulatory policy of regulatory bodies, by the representative of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Manuel Gerardo Flores, and the professor emeritus of the University of California (United States), José Luis Guasch.
In this space, the executive president of OSIPTEL will present the book 30 years of OSIPTEL: communiqués everything is better, which seeks to capture the role played by the regulator in the last three decades of transformation of telecommunications, and its work approach aimed at positively impacting the quality of life of Peruvians.
As part of the program, there will also be two panels with prominent international guests. The first will deal with regulatory governance and the evolution of telecommunications regulatory bodies. Participating will be the general manager of OSIPTEL, Sergio Cifuentes Castañeda; the Director of Regulatory Policies and Competition of OSIPTEL, Lennin Quería Córdova; the counselor of the Dominican Institute of Telecommunications (Dominican Republic), Hilda Patricia Polanco; the director of Videnza Consultores (Peru), Milton von Hesse, and the director of Digital Transformation of the CAF of the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, Mauricio Agudelo.
The second panel will revolve around 5G and next-generation solutions to improve the quality of services and reduce the connectivity gap. The Director of Supervision and Instruction of OSIPTEL, Luis Pacheco Zevallos, will be in charge of the moderation, and among the panelists will be the Latin American representative of the Global System for Mobile Communications Association, Lucas Gallitto; Cullen International's Head of Global Research, Elena Scaramuzzi; the president of the National Telecommunications Agency (Brazil), Carlos Baigorri; the secretary of the Embassy of Japan in Peru, Sakai Kosuke, and the senior director of regulatory affairs at EchoStar and Hughes, Gabriela Lago.
