Mexican regulator IFT said it will launch a public consultation covering four key aspects of the country’s mobile communications industry, including guidelines for establishing MVNO services. It said it aims to establish rules allowing MVNOs to use a wide range of business models serving diverse parts of the market in order to encourage investment and spur competition.

These will notably seek to impose transparent and non-discriminatory access to the networks of the principal operators. The MVNO consultation, which will invite comments from the industry, academics and the general public, runs from 10-17 July and 03-20 August.

Three further consultations will address proposed rules covering the maximum exposure of the public to radio waves, the future attribution of frequencies and the use of other radio-emitting devices such as remote controls.
