Abstract

En 1990 se llevó a cabo la privatización de la compañía Teléfonos de México (Telmex) como un monopolio vertical y horizontalmente integrado, que podía ofrecer todos los servicios posibles de telecomunicaciones, menos video. Asimismo, su venta incluyó importantes derechos de exclusividad, como el servicio de larga distancia, en el cual no se permitió la competencia por los siguientes seis años. Finalmente, se realizó un ajuste anticipado de sus tarifas al alza, con objeto de incrementar su potencial valor antes de su ofrecimiento a la venta. El equilibrio de las finanzas públicas era, por tanto, el tema fundamental de política económica del Estado mexicano, y los temas de competencia y regulación de las telecomunicaciones no se consideraban relevantes al momento de la privatización de la principal empresa de telecomunicaciones del país.
