Mexico: Implemented Mexican Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law

On 14 July 2014, the Mexican Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law entered into force. Article 145 on net neutrality establishes certain obligations on telecommunications and broadcasting operators providing internet services. In particular, they are required to abide by the principle of “non-discrimination” which prohibits operators from obstructing, interfering, inspecting, filtering or discriminating content, applications or services. In addition, they are required to abide by the principle of “freedom of choice” allowing internet users to access any content, application or service.
