FisherBroyles Flags High-Risk Areas in Mexico’s New Telecom Law (Aug 4, 2025)
Aug 4, 2025
In a recent Reforma feature (Aug 4, 2025), FisherBroyles partner Sergio Legorreta outlines critical compliance and cybersecurity risks emerging from Mexico’s new Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law.
The law, which repeals the 2014 reform, mandates that all mobile lines be linked to a CURP (national ID) and biometric data—raising significant data privacy concerns for operators. Additionally, regulatory oversight now shifts to the National Antitrust Commission, introducing a dual-approval process that may increase complexity and delays.
The article highlights FisherBroyles’ recommendations for industry players, including:
- Establishing parallel workflows for licensing and competition approvals.
- Reassessing spectrum strategies.
- Strengthening cybersecurity frameworks to comply with CURP and biometric obligations.
- Reviewing broadcasting operations under new ombudsman supervision.
- Preparing for potential investment arbitration linked to expanded state intervention powers.
