The Federal Telecommunications Institute (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones, IFT) solved this

Thursday in regular session, three interconnection disputes between companies NII Digital, S. de

R.L de C.V. and Pegaso PCS, S.A. de C.V. corresponding to different periods.

The Institute established that interconnection rates that these companies must pay on a reciprocal basis for termination switched services in mobile users under the "calling party pays" will be the following:

• From January 1^st, 2013 to December 31^st, 2013, $ 0.3144 pesos per interconnection minute.

• From January 1^st to August 12^th, 2014, $ 0.3199 pesos per interconnection minute. The same fee shall be covered by NII Digital to Pegaso PCS in termination switched services for mobile users in the form "calling party pays"; based on Twenty Transitory Article of the Decree of the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law, the same rate should be extended for the period from August 13^th to December 31^st, 2014.

• From February 26^th to December 31^st, 2015, $ 0.2505 pesos M.N. per interconnection minute, while for the period from January 1^st to February 25^th should be extended the rate set by the Institute for 2014.

In that resolution, the Plenary of the Institute determined that the interconnection rate that Pegaso PCS shall pay to NII Digital for termination of local services to fixed users, from February 26^th to December 31^st, 2015, will be $ 0.004179 pesos M.N. per interconnection minute, while for the period from January 1^st to February 25^th, it should be extended the rate that the parties had agreed for 2014.

In all cases, companies must calculate the consideration to be paid based on the actual duration of calls, unrounded minute.

Interconnection rates which the Institute solved for 2013 and 2014 were processed and vented under the Federal Telecommunications Law, since applications were filed during the term of the same, with the former Federal Telecommunications Commission (Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones, Cofetel). The procedure first began on February 7^th, 2013 and the second on February 17^th, 2014.

For the third disagreement, the application was filed on November 4^th, 2014, after the publication and entry into force of the decree establishing the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law are issued.
