| description |
During the 1990s many Latin American
countries developed universal access programs, financed
through universal service funds, to increase
telecommunications access in rural and low-income areas. The
mechanism most often used to allocate the funds was the
minimum subsidy tender, with subsidy payments linked to
predefined performance criteria (such as installation of
telephones in rural areas) under an output-based aid (OBA)
approach. After more than 10 years' experience, a study
evaluated the performance of the universal service funds in
Latin America, home to some of the first OBA programs in
telecommunications. The aim was to identify lessons and best
practices and help regulators define a new generation of
universal access programs using OBA mechanisms. |
