Draft Bidding Rules for IFT-12 Process

This coming July, the Federal Institute of Telecommunications (IFT) could open up the draft bidding rules for the IFT-12 process to the interested public. Through this process, it will seek to place suitable frequency bands on the market for the deployment of 5G services in Mexico.

Companies, including AT&T, have emphasized that unless conditions regarding the high costs of the radio spectrum change, they will not be able to participate in new tenders like the one planned by the IFT. They indicate that they will guarantee the provision of their services and the deployment of their 5G network with the frequency bands they already possess.

The primary objective is to inform participants in the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors, as well as the general public, about the IFT-12 Bidding Bases project. The IFT aims to gather opinions, considerations, and proposals when appropriate.
