GENERAL LAW No. 1223/2024

The National Assembly of Nicaragua published Law No. 1223/2024 on November 6, 2024, known as the GENERAL LAW ON CONVERGENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS.

This new law will replace the current Law No. 200/1995 and will come into force in 12 months after its publication.

The new law updates the regulatory framework to address current technological advances, such as 5G networks, the Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile internet services, marking an important step toward aligning Nicaragua's telecommunications regulations with global trends.

Additionally, a labeling obligation is added for approved equipment. However, TELCOR has not yet issued the guidelines to comply with this requirement. Since the new law will take 1 year to come into force, TELCOR will issue the details to comply with the new Law at a later date.
