From a statement issued by the Superintendency of Telecommunications:
Users will have new charging scheme for postpaid mobile internet
The Superintendency of Telecommunications (Sutel) today announced an additional proposal for a charging scheme for data transfer internet services for postpaid mobile phones, which will be submitted to public consultation in the coming days and will allow users to choose the payment method that best suits their interests.
Currently, consumers of postpaid mobile internet services have only one tariff scheme for speed, which means that even without using the service or if they have low consumption, they have to pay a fixed monthly amount. However, this proposal is to charge only for the data transfer actually consumed.
The telecommunications sector is asking for spectrum auctions to be resumed in order to meet the growing demand for voice and data services.
After the Supreme Court suspended the auction process as a precautionary measure after receiving a constitutional challenge over the allocation of television frequencies, the telecommunications sector has not been able to meet new demand for services.
In response to growing demand for more services, the company will invest in expanding its network
The operator announced a major plan to expand the network coverage, aiming to reach all the provinces, especially in remote areas where there is significant demand for voice and data traffic services.
The increased demand for more internet services has led the company to expand its data network.
In order to improve internet coverage offered through its data network, the company put into action an expansion plan that began last year when it invested $50 million.
The significant growth of the company's portfolio of customers is another reason why they are betting on the expansion.
The partnership will allow Digicel to offer innovative mobile services to its subscribers in Panama and reinforces Ericsson's role as its preferred supplier in the region.
Under the agreement, Ericsson will be sole supplier of a GSM/EDGE network including radio access network, Mobile Softswitch Solution, mobile backhaul solution with optical and microwave products and Convergent Charging and Billing solution.
