The Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) in Mexico has announced a scheduled public consultation to introduce a new regulatory framework focused on improving the efficient use of the radioelectric spectrum.
Project Name:
Metrics for Efficient Use of the Radio Spectrum
Promoted by:
Radio Spectrum Unit – IFT
Project Objective:
The draft regulation aims to define general parameters for efficient spectrum use, establish a sanctions regime, and introduce spectrum efficiency submetrics. These submetrics will provide a basis for quantifying performance and creating incentives for optimal spectrum utilization.
This initiative aligns with the IFT’s mission to ensure transparent, fair, and technically sound management of spectrum resources in the country.
Legal Basis:
The proposal is grounded in the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law, particularly its transitory paragraphs, and Article 30, sections IV and XV of the Organic Statute of the Federal Telecommunications Institute.
Expected Outcome:
A new regulation will be created to formalize the metrics and requirements outlined during the consultation process. The legal consequence pursued through this initiative is the signing of an agreement that supports regulatory enforcement and efficiency oversight.
What This Means for Stakeholders:
Operators, manufacturers, consultants, and spectrum holders in Mexico should closely follow this development. The new regulation may introduce quantifiable obligations and compliance incentives, likely affecting how licenses are evaluated and renewed in the future.
