Teledensity, Privatization and the Andean Community of Nations: The Peruvian Case
Abstract
The Andean Community of Nations’ (CAN) country members among other less developed countries (LDCs) are located on the wrong side of the “digital gap” and confront an enormous challenge from the network revolution which is unfolding. To take advantage of this revolution, these countries must attract foreign direct investments (FDIs) to develop the necessary infrastructure in the telecommunication-computer realm and acquire the technological knowhow embedded in the FDIs. Privatization plays a preponderant role to attract the FDIs. Teledensity is a relevant parameter regarding the telecommunication infrastructure, an important factor inserted in the productivity equation and therefore in the stimulus for economic growth.
