Abstract

The recent report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on Mexican telecommunications (OECD, 2012a) makes two main points. First, the performance of the sector, while improved, remains below attainable goals. Second, the causes of the performance deficit are insufficient competition and ineffective regulation. This article focuses on two issues. The first is the relative performance of the telecommunications industry in Mexico. The second is whether Mexican telecommunications regulation departs from international best practice, and whether the OECD’s recommendations make sense. The principal conclusion of this article with respect to performance is that the OECD’s analysis generally is correct and the criticisms of the OECD report by Hausman and Ros are, for the most part, misplaced. With respect to policy, the OECD’s analysis of Mexican regulation reflects the conclusions from scholarly research and the practices of peer nations in which the performance of the telecommunications industry is better than in Mexico.// El reciente estudio de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE) de las telecomunicaciones en México (OCDE, 2012a) establece dos puntos principales. Primero, el desempeño del sector, que si bien ha mejorado se mantiene por debajo de las metas alcanzables. Segundo, las causas del déficit de desempeño son la competencia insuficiente y la regulación ineficaz. El presente artículo se enfoca en dos cuestiones. La primera es el desempeño relativo de la industria de las telecomunicaciones en México. La segunda es si la regulación de las telecomunicaciones en México se aparta o no de las mejores prácticas internacionales y si las recomendaciones de la OCDE son o no sensatas. Las principales conclusiones del presente artículo son las siguientes. En cuanto al desempeño, el análisis de la OCDE es correcto en términos generales y las críticas al estudio de la OCDE que hacen Hausman y Ros son mayormente infundadas. En cuanto a las políticas, el análisis de la OCDE de la regulación en México refleja las conclusiones de la investigación académica y las prácticas de países pares en los que el desempeño de la industria de las telecomunicaciones es superior al de México
