Mexico New digital era: ATDT regulations modified

Published /Effective /Mexico

The decree published represents a profound reconfiguration of the institutional framework of the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency (ATDT).

Issued by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, this document reforms, adds, and repeals various provisions of the Agency's Internal Regulations with the purpose of strengthening digital policies, expanding telecommunications, and broadcasting coverage, and providing the State with greater capabilities in the areas of satellite, administrative simplification, and cybersecurity.

First, the decree places satellite policy at the center of the national strategy. The ATDT assumes responsibility for leading and issuing guidelines related to telecommunications, broadcasting, and satellite services, consolidating a national connectivity and internet access plan.

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission is established as a decentralized body of the ATDT with technical and operational autonomy, responsible for specific regulatory functions in the areas of telecommunications and broadcasting.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency (ATDT), the telecommunications and broadcasting industry, the government, and citizens.

CONCLUSION:

This decree is not merely administrative, but an instrument that transforms the way the Mexican State manages digital, technological, and regulatory matters. Its implementation will require institutional coordination, technical capacity, and political will so that the goals of universal connectivity, administrative modernization, and digital security truly translate into tangible benefits for the population.
