1) Mexico implemented a telecommunications reform in 2013 to increase competition and reduce prices through recommendations from the OECD. 2) As part of this reform, Red Compartida was established as a public-private partnership to build a wholesale-only 4G network using 700MHz spectrum and fiber infrastructure. 3) Red Compartida's private partner Altán has committed to provide coverage to 92.2% of the population through investments totaling $7 billion by 2024.

2. In 2012, the OECD studied the Mexican case and gave recommendations aimed to
ensure low barriers to entry and contestable markets in order to exert pressure on
existing operators and avoid monopolistic behaviour.

3. Red Compartida is a Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
Red Compartida is an international PPP in which
the Government of Mexico participates through
Promtel, which manages the PPP Contract and
provides 90 MHz of the 700 MHz Band, and
Telecomm de México that provides the possibility
of using 2 fiber optic from CFE´s Trunk Network.
In the private sector, the Altán Consortium was the
winner of the tender launched by SCT, with a
commitment to serve 92.2% of the country's
population. Altán is free to define the way in
which the commitments will be fulfilled.

Promtel has the following role:
1. Ensure the deployment of Red Compartida in
compliance with the coverage commitments.
2. Supervise and enforce the Contract.
3. Receive the payments established at the Contract.

4. 4
Altán has committed to achieve at least 92.2% coverage
Initial deployment goals include 2,759 sites at Mexico City, Toluca, Guadalajara and Monterrey,
among other cities. Overall coverage involves 11,990 sites, an initial investment of 2.3 BUSD
and an overall investment of 7.0 BUSD.
Note: Pueblos Mágicos are locations with symbolic attributes, legends, history, transcendent facts, daily life, magic that emanate from
each of your socio-cultural expressions, and which today represent a great opportunity for tourism.

5. “Time has come for setting up network operating companies”:
Bharti Mittal
Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman, GSMA
In Barcelona, during the Mobile World Congress 2017,
Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman of the GSMA
emphasized the challenges that the industry is facing
and stressed that the time has come to establish
companies that operate networks.
That is, the construction of wholesale
telecommunication networks, through which the
provision of capacity to the service providers is
shared. This increases the efficiency in the use
of spectrum and cuts the need for sites
deployment.
Around the world, the telecommunications industry invests approximately $200 billion dollars
in network deployment per year. Deployment costs rise, while revenues are reduced. Around 20%
of the revenue goes to CAPEX.

7. Access to federal buildings for telecoms infrastructure
7
10,918 buildings are ready to be leased
thru the Ares System.
http://sistemas.indaabin.gob.mx/ARES/Index.aspx#no-back-button
Mexico’s Government has
detected 21,353 buildings
capable to be used for
infrastructure deployment.
INDAABIN is the unique
contact point to process
access to federal buildings,
thru ARES, an e-platform
where all the leasing process
can be done via Internet.

8. Conclusions
Mexico is working on the implementation of different public
policies emerged from the Telecommunications Reform in
order to increase connectivity with quality under a
competitive environment.
Red Compartida represents a wholesale-only offer that
enables all operators to have access to the 700 MHz band
capacity with at least 4G quality.
Passive infrastructure projects are focused on facilitating
access to federal assets for the deployment of
telecommunications infrastructure to foster cost and time
efficiencies.
