Peru's transport and communications ministry (MTC) has launched three new measures to boost private sector investment to PEN 1.58 billion with a view to connecting over 1 million underserved residents to 4G networks. The aim is to reach Peruvians in 2,600 rural localities that have no access to mobile data services via measures including concession renewals and minimum coverage conditions tied to frequency tenders in the AWS-3 and 2.3 GHz spectrum bands, promoting private sector investment in digital divide areas.
