Peru's telecom regulatory agency, OSIPTEL, has made public the suggestion it made to have Telefonica's concession to run landlines in the country reduced.

In December, the Spanish telecommunications giant requested an additional five years to its concession (2023-2028).

After evaluating the company's performance between 2003 and 2008, OSIPTEL has recommended that Telefonica's concession be reduced at least 10 months.

The regulatory agency's general manager, Alejandro Jiménez affirmed that the suggestion would be considered by Peru's Ministry of Communications (MTC) and they would decide how much longer Telefonica's concession would last.

He explained that the MTC reduced the company's concession in February. Telefonica had requested to operate under the same conditions for another five years (2019-2023) but was granted four years and two months.
