The IDET also asked the IFT not to allow its autonomy to be violated by external political pressures that have the purpose of relaxing the scope of the regulatory obligations to which Telmex is subject, either by virtue of its concession title or from those that derive of its character as Preponderant Economic Agent in the Telecommunications Sector (AEP-T), or else, whose purpose is to stop the release of any sanction procedure that is in the process of being resolved by that regulatory body.
For the IDET it does not go unnoticed that situations like this are what justify the telecommunications regulatory body being separated from the central government, in order to isolate it from any type of political pressure.
The IFT declared América Móvil as a preponderant economic agent in 2014, that is, a company that has more than 50% of the telecommunications market share, subjected the company to specific measures such as functional separation (Telmex-Telnor), sharing infrastructure to other operators in the sector, among others, in order to reduce their market share.
Telmex said that “it maintains a respectful relationship with its workforce” and that it would resume negotiations with union representation to “reach an agreement.”
