📋 Tender Overview
The team will bring together academia, civil society and the private sector to ensure a comprehensive proposal that responds to technological advances.The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) announced the creation of a Multisectoral Working Group, whose objective will be to develop an updated proposal for the Telecommunications Law in Peru. This initiative responds to the need for a regulatory framework that reflects the significant technological and digital advances that have transformed the sector in recent decades.
Formalized through Ministerial Resolution No. 478-2024-MTC/01.03, published in the official newspaper El Peruano, the creation of this working group is temporary and will be composed of representatives of the MTC, the National Telecommunications Program (Pronatel) and the Supervisory Body for Private Investment in Telecommunications (Osiptel).
In addition, in order to guarantee a comprehensive and inclusive proposal, the group will convene key actors in the telecommunications ecosystem, such as academia, the private sector, civil society and experts in the field.
This multi-sector collaboration seeks to ensure that the new legislative proposal is aligned with the objectives of boosting market competitiveness, protecting user rights and strengthening Information and Communication Technologies throughout the country.
In a sector such as telecommunications, which is continually evolving, it is crucial to have regulations that promote its sustainable development, optimize access to telecommunications services and contribute to closing the digital divide in the country, said the Vice Minister of Communications, Carla Paola Sosa Vela.
It should be noted that the current Telecommunications Law, based on Legislative Decree No. 702 and whose Consolidated Text was approved by Supreme Decree No. 013-93-TCC, was enacted in 1991. Despite the updates made, it does not reflect the advances of the industry today. Therefore, the new proposal will seek to integrate recent technological changes and respond to the growing needs of an increasingly connected society.
We are facing a historic opportunity to reimagine the future of telecommunications in Peru. The proposed amendment to the law must reflect technological advances and the demands of citizens, ensuring that all Peruvians, regardless of their location, have access to optimal telecommunications services. This joint effort will allow the country to be at the forefront of the digital era, said Vice Minister Sosa Vela.
With this initiative, the MTC reaffirms its commitment to promoting a dynamic, inclusive telecommunications sector prepared to face the challenges of the future.
