“We work hand in hand with private operators to encourage them to implement fixed or mobile 4G antennas in areas where there is currently no type of service. Companies under the coverage canon mechanism can allocate up to 40% of the estimated collection of the annual canon, for the expansion of telecommunications infrastructure,” said the general director of Communications Programs and Projects, Juan Carlos Villalobos Chumpitaz.
