Mexico's international telecommunications policy: Origins, the WTO dispute, and future challenges

Antonio Ortiz Mena L.N. and Ricardo Rodriguez

Telecommunications Policy, vol. 29, issue 5-6, 429-448

Abstract: Mexico is by far Latin America's largest trader and the country with the most free trade agreements. Notwithstanding the success of its trade policy, the liberalization of its telecommunications sector was limited and generated a dispute at the WTO. This article offers an overview of Mexico's trade policy, with special emphasis on its policy regarding trade in telecommunications services and the 2002-2004 Mexico-United States dispute over telecommunications at the WTO. The dispute is the first one over trade in telecommunications services at the WTO and has generated interest among many developed and developing countries.
