Mexico's Big Cellular Problem: Carlos Slim
Keywords:
Mexico's setup of the Federal Telecommunications Institute as the new telecom regulator in Mexico
05/27/2010
The FTI replaces the old regulator in an effort to introduce competition in the telecom sector in Mexico. The new anti-monopoly laws were introduced by president Nieto in March 2013. For decades Mexico has suffered from higher telecom rates because of a lack of competition.

The challenges facing Calderon as he tries to reshape the economy of Mexico.
05/22/2006
The Mexican economy is expected to see a GDP decline of nearly 7% in 2009. With the serious downturn in the auto industry and in other industries, serious problems with monopolistic firms and high prices in the telecom sector, underinvestment in the oil sector, and the impact of the war on drug cartels, one expert says its surprising that Calderon is still fighting all these battles.

The Mexico's Institute for Competitiveness- think tank focussed on improving competitiveness within the Mexican economy
05/27/2010
As much as an additional 2.5 percentage points of estimated growth could be generated in the Mexican economy by bringing competitive practices. This includes introducing competition and lowering prices in sectors ranging from telecom, transportation to banking. The most glaring example is the telecom monopoly in Mexico. Mexico's Competition Commission and the OECD study estimates about one third of Mexcan household purchases are made in monopolisic or oligopolistic sectors. Other areas for change to generate this additional growth are the oil sector, electricity, and labor laws. The Pact for Mexico signed by all of the major political parties is designed to make these changes after decades of slow GDP growth.

Monopolies in Mexico: Compete—or else
Economist 05/07/2011
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
