Mobile Quality Plan, "forward or backward?
The Federal Communications Commission intends to issue a new plan of local mobile service quality, including new applications, but commits a serious error of law that harms consumers hard, benefiting dealers, as well as reflecting the weakness of the Mexican state seeking to issue new regulations rather to enforce the regulations. If there are 90 million mobile users in Mexico, this should be a matter of national interest far more than the interconnection whose understanding is difficult for the citizen. Will the same media work Televisa and TV Azteca to seek to benefit the consumer or their silence confirms that selectively broadcast sector issues telecommunications?
As if the Quality Plan subject to review in the Federal Regulatory Commission ignored the challenge was to defend itself CFT and show the constitutionality of its Quality Plan 2003 to the Federal Judiciary, the draft Plan repealed in its entirety in 2003. Are you looking for the public interest or the mobile operators? The 2003 plan is now mandatory for mobile operators (except for certain subsidiaries of Telefónica Movistar) and the draft Plan includes a number of identical obligations of the 2003 plan. If it repeals the 2003 plan then all mobile operators will again have an opportunity to challenge in court the constitutionality of the Plan, including the obligations identical. Legally if you search the interests of consumers, rather than repeal the 2003 plan, which is appropriate to repeal provisions no longer apply or reform that require updating, so mobile operators will be obliged to continue meeting identical obligations of either plan, instead of resorting to Plan against any risk of the already conquered by CFT. Do you pronounce the Profeco or Legal Counsel for citizenship?
The percentage of failed call attempts not only prevents improve the percentage required to dealers, but now introduced an additional element to the detriment of consumers: the call can be completed 20 seconds after pressing the Send key. That is, technological progress and the strength of existing networks compared to the last 8 years, even took CFT to improve the rate of 3% but also gives them a benefit that did not exist 20 seconds!
two indicators are removed from base stations with block rates and the use of plants. Why? CFT never mentioned.
programs is set to be measuring sites, but it is unclear whether the program previously announced CFT and the regions or whether they will be checking surprise. If there are programs and players know when their proper review in certain cities, then it will be like when after a visit by the President, "fix" things so that when everything looks great through ball which was made while walking the dictator of The Autumn of Patriarch by Gabriel García Márquez.
CFT should have included that when there is unavailability of the mobile service more than 8 hours, licensees must reclaim its customers for a period of no access to mobile services. Today, as in 1940 with the Law of General Means of Communication, mobile operators are only required to reclaim when the unavailability is more than 72 hours, which in the XXI century is unacceptable. This proposal is not in the draft Plan.
Not everything is backwards. The proposed Plan includes within the services subject to quality both SMS and Internet. It is also beneficial that CFT will use its own measurements and not in 2003 that much information was provided by the operators themselves.
Rafael del Villar. Share their views or not, Commissioner Rafael del Villar has shown interest and seek to contribute to that collective body an entirely pro-competitive. Appointment expires soon and for the sake of CFT and Mexico, it is essential that the President Felipe Calderón ratified in his post. Otherwise, the loss will not only Cofetel but for the development of telecommunications in the country based on competition.
