Simulador para determinar los valores de derechos de concesión y tarifas para la provisión de servicios de telecomunicaciones y servicios de radiodifusión en Ecuador: simulador para determinar los valores de derechos de concesión y tarifas para la provisión de servicios de radiodifusión en Ecuador.

Abstract

In this research work, we present the calculations of the values and the process that must be taken into account to obtain Enabling Titles for the use of frequencies of Broadcasting Services in Ecuador, on the basis of the applicant’s entry of the necessary data for the calculation of the values to be paid to the State, this by using a simulator that will be developed in order to give an agile and automated service by the Agency for Regulation and Control of Telecommunications, ARCOTEL. The terms necessary for the understanding and application of the formulae are described, as well as a dedicated user guide for the use of the developed Simulator, which will make possible the calculation of the Concession Rights and the Fees to be paid, depending on each particular case, as established by the law and regulations in force in Ecuador. It also presents a series of examples of possible requests, explaining clearly the obtaining of the values to be paid to the Ecuadorian State through the regulatory body responsible for their respective collection; these examples will be solved by the two possible means, manual resolution and by the Simulator, checking the results obtained in both cases, which will be very useful for anyone who wants to know the values of the rights and/or tariffs that you will have to pay to the Ecuadorian State on a monthly, annual, or one-time basis, as the case may be, by the granting of the Enabling Titles of Broadcasting Services.
