Telephone in Peru
The Peruvian Government decided Wednesday the past not to renew the contract de concession de the branch de Telephone, that finalizes in 2019.
That means that if the things do not change until then although fifteen years it is sufficient time so that happens any thing, in that date the Spanish operator would have to throw the closing in that one country, after to have invested 7,000 million dollars in ten years. But the worse thing de the decision is not its gravity to very long term but deep rejoicing whereupon has been welcomed, almost without exception, by the public opinion and the Peruvian political class.
Only Association de Companies Prevailed de Services Public, one de associations de employer's association, has left clearly in defense company Spanish, whereas some commentaries in reference newspapers alert on the uncertainties that this measurement can throw on the foreign investments, that need, mainly, de legal security.
And the case is that Telephone it has arguments to have better image, but something has had to make badly to win that generalized antipathy. In the ten years passed from the privatization, the operator has invested to 3,500 million dollars in the initial purchase and the later takeover to take the 100% from the society. In addition, the branch has destined other 3,700 million to the renovation de networks and essential infrastructures for the modernization de the country. With that unfolding it has obtained that the term de delay to install a line has happened de the three year and a half de average de 1994 to one week at present, and that the plant de installed lines is had triplicate de 700,000 to two million. In addition, as the network is new, the quality de the service is very high, even with European standards.
The main accusations that receive are de another nature. The operator has the image de being a very expensive company although in 2003 she modified his tariffs to the loss and created social packages for the poorest classes ; some de their executives had the past in arrogant behaviors dyed that it de great power and, mainly, is identified like very tie to the previous regime de Alberto Fujimori. The operator has before himself a task delicate and difficult to obtain a radical change in her corporative reputation in Peru.
