The recent report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on Mexican telecommunications (OECD, 2012a) makes two main points. First, the performance of the sector, while improved, remains below attainable goals. Second, the causes of the performance deficit are insufficient competition and ineffective regulation. This article focuses on two issues. The first is the relative performance of the telecommunications industry in Mexico. The second is whether Mexican telecommunications regulation departs from international best practice, and whether the OECD's recommendations make sense. The principal conclusion of this article with respect to performance is that the OECD's analysis generally is correct and the criticisms of the OECD report by Hausman and Ros are, for the most part, misplaced. With respect to policy, the OECD's analysis of Mexican regulation reflects the conclusions from scholarly research and the practices of peer nations in which the performance of the telecommunications industry is better than in Mexico.
