Telecommunications and Broadcasting Reform in Mexico in 2013: Key Elements of the Process

Abstract

The goal of this article is to analyze the key elements of the process of reform of Mexico's telecommunication and broadcast sector in 2013. The historic antecedents that ushered along the development of a model of concentrated power were reviewed and the actions of a few key citizens were revealed as an important counterpoint to this history. That counterpoint was echoed by initiatives from the country's three political parties and the President. The most significant points of this reform, as well as some of its challenges, are analyzed.
