Peru Proposes New Indicators to Measure Mobile Quality

Peru's telecoms watchdog Osiptel has published proposed changes to the way it measures the quality of mobile services in the country, the regulator said in a statement.

Osiptel proposes to measure dropped calls and uncompleted calls by taking measurements at base stations every hour.

The regulator also will measure the time it takes a call to be connected, the speed a SMS takes to reach its destination, as well as the minimum accepted level of reception a customer should experience within a concession area.

Operators failing to meet these requirements could face sanctions.

A 30-day public consultation period will be held during which comments on the proposed modifications can be sent to Osiptel.
