The truth still stunned and bewildered by the decision of the Federal Telecommunications Institute (Ifetel) on the case of Telmex TV One. I am surprised that such an important decision has been simplified in a simple four-paragraph statement by the @IFT_MX. There is no other explanation that we detail how and with what the Commissioners based their decision will upset the competition in the sector. I think this is a simplistic, shortsighted, shallow ruling and does not evaluate correctly converging digital markets. There will have to wait for the vote and the arguments of each of the commissioners.
Indeed, one TV is not a service broadcast or restricted tv, but distributes television signals from one to several points. The regulator found that One TV is only a portal with audiovisual content, which seems to me an act of inconsistency or naivete sum. A portal for audiovisual content (or videos), as YouTube is a platform where everyone climbs what he wants. Its marketing scheme is based on the sale of the platform and the data of its users, but not programming. Instead, One TV is a television room, because it has a schedule, drivers and pay broadcast rights. Even in his name carries the tv letters.
In addition, the regulator did not take into account that the future of television is on the internet and it shows the Ericsson Mobility Report. The public is migrating from traditional TV consumption to streaming video on mobile Smart . Between 2011 and 2015 adolescents increased 85 percent while watching TV on mobile. Although they are using more wifi, they are also more likely to pay for connectivity. 63 percent of teens surveyed in the US, Japan and South Korea said it would pay to improve speed mobile data. This is because they have the second highest rate of growth of consumption data cell video. Not to mention that are the most frequent users of streaming video smartphones . Eye, today’s teenagers are the biggest consumers of 2020.
So my Panchote because Ifetel failure will cause negative effects on the reaper competition in fixed and mobile telecommunications. This pardon reinforces the power of America Movil to offer integrated packages of fixed and mobile telephony, television and services over-the-top . It is to free the giant prematurely. In footballing terms we would say that Telmex has not the fault of the fault of the referee, but if the swishing allows kicking, will be a bad game. And I need still talk about how television will be operating with a model freemium …
