Mexico’s telecommunications regulator, the Federal Institute for Telecommunications (IFT) has launched a probe looking into possible breaches of the country’s Competition Law in the open and pay-tv advertising market.
The regulator has said it will be following clues found in previous investigations “that indicate possible monopolistic practices in the sale of publicity and advertising space in the open TV and pay TV markets at a National level, which could be intended to unfairly displace other market participants, to prevent their substantial access or to establish exclusive advantages for one or several persons.”
The IFT’s announcement kicks off the investigation. The agency is authorized to request any information deemed necessary from the companies under investigation, including summoning witnesses and requesting statements to any related individuals.
