Luis Tellez- Mexican Telecom Moving to Digital, and Greater Comptetition

MEXICO CITY - The Mexican government on Tuesday vowed to bring greater competition and accountability to the country's telecommunications sector, including telephone, Internet, TV and radio industries long dominated by a handful of powerful companies.

At a planning meeting where Communications and Transport Secretary Luis Tellez voiced the need for greater competition, the semiautonomous Federal Telecommunications Commission, or Cofetel, also announced it is working to convert the country's radio and television from analog to digital. That move may come by the end of the year, beginning with radio on the northern border with the U.S.
