A Mexican court has denied approval for Carlos Slim’s Telmex to offer television services on the local market, El Economista reports. The court’s decision means Telmex will have to resubmit an application to change its operating licence under the new administration of President Enrique Pena to include television, Reuters reports.

Telmex has unsuccessfully tried for years to enter the Mexican pay-TV market. Back in August 2012, Mexico’s Supreme Court declined to review a suit filed by Telmex against Mexico’s communications ministry. The decision sent the case back to a lower appeals court, the Seventh Collegiate Court in Administrative Matters, which has now confirmed as “legal” the Ministry of Communications’ decision to deny Carlos Slim’s company its license modification to include provision of pay-TV services.
