TELECOMUNICATIONS IN MEXICO

TELECOMUNICATIONS
Telecommunications and broadcasting in Mexico have been highly concentrated, which has affected users and the economy as a whole, resulting in low coverage, poor quality and expensive services, which in turn, has limited the exercise of freedom of expression and the right to information of Mexicans…

Telecommunications allow us to communicate at a distance, via numerous services, through which we issue and receive signs, signals, writing, images, sounds and any kind of data using cables, fiber optics or the radio spectrum (the space through which wireless signals are transmitted) as channels of transmission.
These services are commonly known as telephony, text messaging, Internet, Pay-TV or radio communication, provided by individuals or corporations, to which the government granted a license or authorization.

Telecommunications have the power to impact countries ‘economic and social development , as they are a fundamental element in strengthening growth and productivity. They are also an essential element in the development of democracy and access to culture, education, health, and in general, the full exercise of human rights. Because of their importance, many countries are making efforts to expand their telecommunications infrastructure and increase the coverage and penetration levels of these services.
Despite their positive impact, telecommunications and broadcasting in Mexico have been highly concentrated, which has affected users and the economy as a whole, resulting in low coverage, poor quality and expensive services, which in turn, has limited the exercise of freedom of expression and the right to information of Mexicans, and economic, social and cultural development.

Given this situation, it was decided to promote a structural change that would substantially increase competition in these sectors, thereby improving the well-being of Mexicans and the country’s economic potential. This change was achieved through telecommunications reform, comprising six main axes:

1) Expansion of fundamental rights. Freedom of expression and access to information and the rights of telecommunications and broadcasting service users are extended. The right of access to information and communications technology, including broadband and the Internet is recognized. The reform stresses that telecommunications and broadcasting are public services of general interest, as a result of which the state will guarantee that they will be provided under conditions of competition, quality, diversity, universal coverage, networking, convergence, free access and continuity.
Telecommunications reform is designed to eliminate monopolistic practices that have yielded extraordinary profits for preponderant agents to the detriment of the well-being of Mexicans and the country’s development. With more competition, Mexico’s telecommunications sector will have higher coverage levels and better penetration, and better quality services at affordable prices, particularly among historically disadvantaged areas and sectors of the population.

I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS IN DAILY LIFE AND I HOPE THIS EVERYDAY AND STILL RUNNING OF THE BEST THIS ALSO HELPS SERCA COMMUNICATE OR AWAY FROM OUR GUESTS AND IS ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL

I totally agree with this because telecommunications are very important today. These help us to transmit knowledge or to keep in touch with others who are either near or far from us for fast and effective.

I think everything said above is true,
because "The Telecomunicasiones" allow us
mantenermos communicated with the people we love
and are far from us, convey a message,
information and / or knowledge in general and in a nutshell
facilitate our social life

for me the issue of telecommunications is very important as it serves to provide these services to the thousands of Mexicans and put in a better place among the countries to mexico. I completely agree though, many disadvantages are obtained, this will be great for all

This information is very chida because talks about how important telecommunications in our lives because with the telecommunications can be in contact with relatives living in distant places or other friends can be informed of everything that happens in the world.

telecommunications are important because it is that we use all over the world to communicate with friends, family and loved ones in other parts, the are also used in everyday life to communicate with our friends, acquaintances, etc in Mexico we use more than WANT where else on earth
