New regulations that require broadcasters to share their airwaves with satellite and cable firms for free are being scrutinized by Mexico’s largest broadcaster Grupo Televisa, say reports.
The regulation was first announced late last week, and Televisa says it has yet to read the full text. The Federal Telecommunications Institute said it will publish the ruling online in the coming weeks.
According to reports, satellite-TV provider Dish Mexico stands to gain a lot from the new rules, as the company competes with Televisa’s Sky for subscribers.
Televisa had proposed charging Dish for bundled broadcast and cable channels, Dish argued it should not have to pay for carrying programming over the air.
The new regulation has already gone in effect, according to regulators, meaning Dish can continue using Televisa and TV Azteca signals without charge, allowing the firm to more adequately compete with Sky and other rival cable firms.
