1 Legal and enforcement framework
1.1 Which legislative and regulatory provisions govern the following in your jurisdiction: (a) Telecommunications; (b) Internet; (c) Media and (d) Social media?
(a) Telecommunications
Telecommunications and media are hot topics for the Mexican government, telecommunications carriers and media operators alike. The modern era began with the privatisation of the Mexican state telecoms company and the liberalisation of the telecommunications sector in 1996. In 2014, the Mexican Constitution was amended to include key concepts and structural provisions related to these fields. Following the amendment of the Mexican Constitution, the Mexican Congress enacted the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law (published in Mexico's Official Daily on 14 July 2014) as the primary statute governing telecommunications and media.
