Last week Gerardo Soria, president of the Telecommunications Law Institute (IDET), assured that the takeover of Altán Redes by the Mexican State will bring competition problems in the telecommunications sector, because President Andrés Manuel López Obrador can give favoritism to this company for federal projects and in the entities where it currently has power.
But the IFT assures that with the entry of the federal government into the company, it is not expected that the concentration will give the company substantial power, nor will it generate barriers to competition in the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors in Mexico.
“It is not noted that the concentration violates the principle that no telecommunications service provider has influence in the operation of the Red Compartida, an obligation established in the corresponding concession title,” warns the IFT in a statement.
