ALTAN Redes is a Mexican state-owned company that unites nearly 80 million Mexicans in voice and data and with the motto and mission of not discriminating since 2014.
How is it that this network, which was established with the objective of really communicating to all of Mexico, will not become a kind of useless white elephant and that it really be a communication tool for all Internet and telephony users? Right now I tell you the telecommunications gossip well.
It turns out that this network, and I know it from a good source, was built in the six-year term of Enrique Peña Nieto as a kind of peasant dream to unite all of Mexico (about 2 million square kilometers) with antennas. So, all the so-called telephone operators came in, such as Telcel, IUSACEL, AT&T and others to use this network, as a kind of shared network to optimize data and thus save costs.
The reality is that, like everything that is often built by government companies, it generated a lot of uncertainty and little transparency. There are two main versions for this reality: one is that they used this kind of peasant dream of ALTAN as a pretext to steal money; the other is that ALTAN is a network that nobody uses, other than private operators to optimize costs and save expenses to earn more money while they continue to increase their rates to ordinary users.
How will this telecommunications soap opera end?
There is not much clarity. Diego Ordoñez, a former NAFIN official, was appointed as the new director of ALTAN Redes and Andrés Manuel López Obrador has less than two years to push the rheumatic elephant to become a true communication dream for children from remote communities to generate the internet and that they are communicated to generate truly free Mexicans. In thought and mind.
Without the internet, for children there will be no youthful thinking or youthful desires; no dreams, no dilemma, no movement, no energy, no recharging. What is not communicated is dead. Lifeless. It is necessary for the data to reach Oaxaca, Chiapas, Baja California, just as the Sabritas, smugglers and drug traffickers arrive.
Let everything come. Like the dreams and thoughts of life that moves us all. To live without the risk of communicating and without fear of having access to information.
Without the internet, there are no dreams or life. No problems, no risks. No problem. Without freedom, there is no life.
