|
|
Con el Decreto de Reforma Constitucional en Telecomunicaciones se ha determinado que la radiodifusión es un servicio público de interés general y que corresponde al Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (IFT) el otorgamiento de Concesiones del espectro radioeléctrico en dicha materia y que éstas, cuando su uso es comercial, serán otorgadas mediante licitación pública.

IFT Plenary approves the new format of the bill to be delivered by Teléfonos de México to its customers on its character of Preponderant Economic Agent (Press Release 21/2015)
IFT Plenary approves the new format of the bill to be delivered by Teléfonos de México to its customers on its character of Preponderant Economic Agent
• From the billing month of April, the Telmex and Telnor bill format will contain clearer and detailed information on services and / or goods that users will pay
• For the first time, unique concessions for commercial use are going to be granted; the Plenary determine 12 applications under this figure, which may provide all kinds of public telecommunications services and broadcasting
• They decided to declare the loss of assets for the benefit of the nation, derived from the assurance of equipment for the use of frequencies for leased public transport without permission in three locations
• The Commissioner President, Gabriel Contreras Saldívar, presented his first state Report that holds the management of human, financial, material and technological IFT resources
In regular meeting yesterday, the Plenary of the Federal Telecommunications Institute (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones, IFT) approved the format of the telephone bill by which Teléfonos de Mexico (Telmex) and Teléfonos del Noroeste (Telnor), as members of the Preponderant Economic Agent (PEA) in the telecommunications sector, will bill telecommunications services, and any other goods and / or different services from telecommunications provided to its customers, so the users can have clear and transparent information on what they will pay.
According to the Forty-seventh measure of the Preponderance Measures imposed by the IFT at PEA in the telecommunications sector, that it must notify to all the subscribers, by printed notice or electronic invoice, by the Institute authorized formats, the amount the user would have to pay if he/she decides to conclude, at the billing time, his/her contractual relationship, derived from the sale of goods or services other than telecommunications.
Thus, the sale of goods or services other than telecommunications, may not become a cause for which the subscriber cannot cancel the telecommunications services contracted.
Similarly, the Forty-eighth extent of these measures provides that PEA must disaggregate the concepts collected or billed to the subscriber, distinguishing the concepts associated with telecommunications services provided by that agent, of any other good or service that is not telecommunications or any service provided by another company hired by the subscriber and billed by the Preponderant Economic Agent. The format of the bill must allow the independent payment of telecommunication services provided by the PEA and any other goods or services included in the bill.
Even when there are debts associated with goods or services other than telecommunications, or any other service provided by another company and billed by the Preponderant Economic Agent, it may not interrupt the provision of services, provided that the subscriber is currently up to date with the payments for the rendered telecommunications services.
Thus, from the billing month of April, the bill format Telmex and Telnor will contain:
a) A notice indicating the amount the user would have to pay if he/she decides to terminate at the time of billing, the contractual relationship, derived from the sale of goods or services other than telecommunications.
b) Clearly distinguish the concepts associated with rendered telecommunications services, any other good or service that is not telecommunications or any service provided by another company hired by the subscriber and billed by these companies.
c) Allow the independent payment for telecommunications services provided and any other goods or services included in the bill.
Likewise, users may find that due to the elimination of national long distance, all calls originating within the country are considered local service calls.
Moreover, the Plenary of the Institute decided to award 12 concession titles for commercial use, which can be possible to provide all kinds of public telecommunications and broadcasting. It is the first time the Institute approves grants under this figure referred to in the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law. Six of these new concessions relate to individuals and six to juridical persons.
It was also decided to declare the loss of assets for the benefit of the nation, derived from the assurance of equipment for the use of frequencies for leased public transport without license, the permit, authorization or respective allocation in three locations in Nuevo León: 158.8625 MHz, in Apodaca, 463 525 MHz, in San Nicolás de los Garza; and 156.300 MHz in San Pedro Garza García. In the first two cases there were also economic sanctions.
In other matters, the Commissioner President of the Institute, Gabriel Contreras Saldívar, presented his first status report that holds the management of human, financial, material and technological IFT resources, pursuant to the provisions of Articles 20, section III of the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law and 14 Section I of the Organic Statute.

This represents an exercise transparency and accountability in the use of public resources entrusted to the Institute to fulfill its responsibilities and provides elements and as appropriate for anyone interested in understanding and assessing institutional performance information. The report will be presented annually in the month of March.

IFT unveils new broadband data (Press Release 13/2015)
IFT unveils new broadband data
• The base subscriptions reached 47,284,849 on June 2014, equivalent to almost 40 of 100 inhabitants with access to the service
• New prepayment schemes that promote the use of social networks and greater competition in the prepaid segment detonate growth
The subscriber base of wireless broadband in the country amounted to 47,284,849 in June 2014, whereby a penetration of 39.9 subscribers per 100 inhabitants with access to band wireless broadband was reached, which includes satellite services (08%), fixed wireless (1.11%) and Mobile Broadband (98.8%).
This level of subscriptions can be explained in part by the incursion of new prepayment schemes in the mobile market, which incorporates access or services, such as social networks that are available to a large volume of prepaid subscribers that exist in Mexico as well as by increased competition for postpaid contract users by mobile operators. With this, Mexico moves and positions with penetration levels above Hungary, Turkey, Portugal and Greece, and very close to Chile.
According to the definition of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), broadband subscriptions are those that have an announced speed of 256 kbps or higher. Subscriptions must allow Internet access via http and should be used to make a data connection via Internet Protocol on its previous three months. SMS messages and MMS do not count as an active interconnection of broadband Internet, even if they are delivered via IP. This indicator is measured in number of subscriptions per 100 inhabitants.
Besides, the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law provides measurements that the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors must adhere to internationally recognized methodologies that allow the measurement of progress and international comparison, while the regulator awarded best tools for information of concessionaires. Based on the above, the IFT adheres to international standards and uses variables consistent with those provided by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the OECD, such as subscriptions with access at speeds greater than 256 kbps. With this methodological change revised from 2010 to penetration of mobile broadband wireless data is presented.
Moreover, the latest statistical report from the OECD on broadband shows that from December 2013 to June 2014, a penetration increase of 18.8% of mobile wireless broadband in our country was recorded, with this, Mexico ranks third place among the OECD countries that reported the highest growth percentage in penetration of this market.
In the case of fixed broadband, between December 2013 and June 2014, a growth in penetration for this service of 3.1% is observed, which places Mexico at number 12 of the countries with the highest percentage growth in penetration, above the OECD average.
During the first quarter of 2015, the IFT will publish a statistical report for the third quarter of 2014, in which the main indicators of the telecommunications sector will be included, the methodology of measurement shall be consistent with international best practices and guidelines used by the ITU and OECD. Among the main changes, the information will be provided with the highest level of disaggregation, in addition to the figures collected will be reflected directly from operators, avoiding as far as possible the preliminary or estimated data.
