Abstract

The OECD’s proposed regime of asymmetric ex ante regulation for Mexico’s telecommunications marketplace would reduce competition, contrary to the OECD’s aims. The OECD’s proposals would harm Mexican consumers and force an increase in prices paid for telecommunications services. They would create a government-sanctioned price cartel among the telecommunications providers. They would reward inefficient competitors and penalize efficient carriers, all to the detriment of the consumers. Instead of relying on new layers of counterproductive or ineffective regulations, the Mexican government should remove regulatory entry barriers between video and telephone, thereby creating enduring, facilities-based competition.// El régimen propuesto por la OCDE de instrumentar regulación asimétrica ex ante para el mercado de las telecomunicaciones en México reduciría la competencia, contrariamente a los objetivos de la OCDE. Las propuestas de la OCDE perjudicarían a los consumidores mexicanos e impondrían un aumento en los precios que se pagan por los servicios de telecomunicaciones. Crearían un cártel de precios sancionado por el gobierno entre los operadores de telecomunicaciones. Premiarían a los competidores ineficientes y penalizarían a los operadores eficientes, todo en detrimento de los consumidores. En lugar de agregar nueva regulación contraproducente o ineficaz, el gobierno mexicano debería eliminar las barreras regulatorias a la entrada entre los servicios de video y telefonía, con lo cual se crearía una competencia duradera basada en la infraestructura.
