ORDONEZ, Sergio  e  NAVARRETE, Daniel. The Telecommunications Services Industry and Regulatory Reform in Mexico. Prob. Des [online]. 2016, vol.47, n.184, pp.35-60. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rpd.2016.01.003.

The Telecommunications Reform entails an analytical and regulatory framework that will strengthen the regulatory body and structure, as well as foster competition. Its most advanced aspect-the shared network of wholesale broadband services-is also its principal limitation in terms of moving towards knowledge capitalism and the role of the telecommunications services industry in the growth of Mexico, the convergence process, and the mode of industrial development within the neoliberal development path. As such, the State not only needs to build up strong regulatory capacity, but also strategic management capacity to steer development in such a way that produces an authentic change in the industrial development mode, shifting towards innovation and bottom-up spatial and productive innovation in the services provided.
