The Mexican government to replace IFETEL with ATDT in 2025
In 2025, the Federal Institute of Telecommunications (IFETEL) in Mexico will be replaced by the Agencia de Transformación Digital y Telecomunicaciones (Agency of Digital Transformation and Telecommunications). The new agency will take over IFETEL's responsibilities beginning in January 2025.
The “Digital Transformation Agency” which it is often being referred to for now, is supposed to begin operating in January 2025.
However, beyond that there is very little specific information yet. Only that the new agency will begin operating and they will eventually replace IFETEL but that most of the current regulatory requirements will remain the same or quite close to what they are now (at least for the immediate future). There have not been any formal announcements regarding transition landmarks or details about how this will occur. The intent is to replace IFETEL (a privately run company) with a government run agency. The underlying goal is to advance more digitalization both within the agency and with the population of Mexico, and to reduce opportunities for fraud (corruption).
