“Mexico’s Federal Telecommunications Commission (COFETEL) voted yesterday in favor of adopting the Asia Pacific Telecommunity (APT) band plan for the 700MHz band dedicated to mobile services. The GSMA welcomes this announcement from the Mexican regulator regarding this important decision, which will help advance the allocation of Digital Dividend spectrum to mobile operators and realize the social and economic benefits associated with mobile broadband.”.


“In light of this decision, the GSMA encourages Latin American countries to work together to implement a harmonized 700MHz band plan for mobile services. Spectrum harmonization is essential to generating cost efficiencies in both network technology and devices, enabling deployment to remote areas with the ultimate goal of making mobile broadband services more accessible and affordable for all consumers.”.
