THE FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS EXTENDS THE SUSPENSION OF WORK AND PROCEDURAL PERIODS AS A PREVENTIVE MEASURE IN COVID-19 CRISIS.

I. MEASURES ADOPTED

In light of the current COVID-19 international crisis, to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, the Federal Telecommunications Institute (“IFT”) has decided to extend the suspension of work and procedural periods from May 1 to 30, 2020. 1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, to try to contain the economic impact on the country’s economy and particularly to telecom and broadcasting sectors, IFT has decided to exempt from these measures certain additional procedures to those already excluded in its previous ruling, including: (i) concentration notices; and (ii) requests for general orientation in connection with the application of the Federal Economic Competition Law, as well as several regulatory procedures. As per the decision issued by the IFT, the suspension of work and procedural periods imply that IFT facilities will remain closed, without the possibility of carrying out promotions during this period.
