The impact of telecommunications regulation on less well-off Mexican households

Martin Cave and Elisa V. Mariscal

Telecommunications Policy, 2020, vol. 44, issue 4

Abstract: Access to mobile communications in Mexico is heavily skewed in favour of those with higher incomes. In 2014, 80% of the highest 10 percent (decile) in the income distribution had access to mobile communications, while only 30% of the lowest decile did. The same figures for 2016 are 84% and 40%. This report sets out to review some of these numbers and places them within the narrative of asymmetric regulation and other reforms which Mexico adopted in 2013/14.
