Market Studies Initiated
On March 14th, 2023, the Federal Institute of Telecommunications commenced two important market studies. The first study focuses on the costs of the radioelectric spectrum for mobile services in Mexico, while the second explores the distribution channels of services and products related to mobile telecommunications.
The institute invites contributions from the public, interested institutions, authorities, and economic agents to provide relevant information and comments for a comprehensive analysis.
To offer mobile telecommunications services to consumers, operators need physical distribution channels like convenience stores and department stores, as well as digital channels for related products and services such as SIM cards, airtime recharges, and subscription payments.
A well-organized and efficient distribution chain can positively impact operators' ability to compete, giving consumers and users access to a wider range of products and services.
Through these studies, identifying any restrictions on competition will help the institute determine actionable steps to mitigate associated risks.
