According to the Board of Directors Resolution No. 00217-2024-CD/OSIPTEL, published today in the Official Gazette El Peruano, the value of the maximum rates for the indicated services will be S/3.88, without VAT, which implies a tariff reduction of between 50% and 80%, with respect to the rates currently charged by operating companies.
The regulatory intervention affects seven operating companies, depending on the service contracted by the subscriber. Thus, this regulation affects the mobile, fixed telephone, fixed Internet access and pay television services of Movistar and Claro; the mobile services of Entel and Bitel; the fixed Internet access service of Wow and Win; and the pay television service of Directv.
It should be noted that the aforementioned operating companies may freely establish the values of the rates for the aforementioned services without exceeding the established maximum rates. Likewise, these rates are also applicable to the reactivation of packaged services, provided that they include at least one of the services for which the regulation applies.
Meanwhile, the operating companies that are not within the scope of the aforementioned resolution are under the supervised rate regime. In this sense, OSIPTEL will monitor the corresponding market and, if justified, will evaluate the relevance of extending the scope of the regulation.
The aforementioned resolution specifies that the new maximum rates for reactivation will come into effect on January 1, 2025.
