In March 2021, Law No. 31207 “Law that guarantees the minimum speed of Internet connection and monitoring of the provision of Internet service in favor of users“ was issued, through which the speed was increased from 40% to 70%. minimum internet access to be guaranteed by the companies providing the service, despite the fact that during the process of preparing and issuing it, the Congress of the Republic obtained opinions expressed by different public and private institutions that reveal that said regulatory measure is not the most appropriate, above all, because its Statement of Reasons does not reveal the technical reasons that support it. In this sense, this research work was limited to carrying out an Ex Ante Regulatory Impact Analysis of Law No. 31207, according to the current methodology that was approved by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM), in order to identify, based on the six components defined in the aforementioned methodology, the public problem presented in the 2020-2021 context, regarding the speed of browsing the Internet access service (fixed and mobile), the possible causes that originate it, and the choice of the regulatory alternative that ideally addresses the public problem identified, which is the result of the analysis of a range of alternatives. From the analysis carried out, it was evidenced that in the aforementioned context there was a greater use of ICT in different areas, fostered by changes in the habits of citizens as a result of the mandatory social isolation ordered by the State, within the framework of the state of emergency. national. In turn, the Satisfaction Surveys carried out by Osiptel in said period reveal the dissatisfaction of citizens regarding the speed of browsing while using platforms and streaming videos whose demand has increased over the years. Among the causes identified are: (i) telecommunications infrastructure gap, (ii) reduced penetration of fiber optics for the development of broadband, (iii) bureaucratic barriers by Local Governments, (iv) need to strengthen of the supervisory capacity of the Regulator, and (v) absence of ex post evaluation of sector regulations. As a result of the analysis of alternatives, it was concluded that the users of the Internet access service will be able to show an improvement in the provision of service, maintaining the percentage of minimum guaranteed speed at 40% as established by the Quality Regulation of services. public telecommunications approved by Osiptel and that was in force prior to the aforementioned law. However, it was identified that said regulatory measure must be accompanied by additional mechanisms, such as the publication of the “Minimum Speed Compliance“ indicator obtained by the Regulator for each operating company that provides the service, in order to promote competition for quality. In the same way, it is recommended as another measure the application of improvement commitments in order to encourage the improvement of the quality of the service, and taking into account the good results obtained from its application on the indicators applicable to the mobile telephony service Voice Quality (CV), Text Message Delivery Time (TEMT) and Quality of Service Coverage (CCS) In addition to this, an international benchmarking was carried out in order to know the measures adopted by twenty-two (22) countries that cover North America, Central America, South America and Europe, from whose analysis it was identified that the countries that register upload speeds and significantly higher than the sample of countries analyzed, have developed policies tending to the deployment of broadband infrastructure, having covered a significant percentage of their national territory, which consequently confirms that said policies contribute to a great extent to the improvement of internet speed. In this sense, it is recommended that the regulatory alternative, which is found within the functions and powers of the Regulator, be complemented with other duly articulated inter-institutional and multi-sectoral measures that promote, among other aspects, investments in telecommunications infrastructure.
