New Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law
On July 16, 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum published in the Official Gazette of the Federation the new Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law (“LMTR, per its acronyms in Spanish”), which repeals the Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law in force since 2014. This reform represents a structural shift in the regulation of the sector, by establishing a new regulatory body and assigning new responsibilities to the recently created Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency (“Agency”). Broadly speaking, the reform aims to reorganize the sector’s institutional framework, strengthen the State's governance through the Federal Executive Branch, and simplify the concessions regime.
