IBARRA-YUNEZ, Alejandro y CASTRUITA FLORES, Edmundo. PLC/BPL Technologies in Mexico and their Challenges to Regulations: Are there Opportunities to Growth?. Gest. polít. pública [online]. 2005, vol.14, n.2, pp.257-287. ISSN 1405-1079.
Telecommunications have opened to the existence of multiple technologies, such as electric wire communications or PLC (power line communications) or BPL (broadband power line communication). Electric networks communications, with a greater coverage than telecommunications in traditionally non-economic areas, could reduce the digital gap in developing countries, but they also pose important regulation challenges to countries with public firms vertically integrated in electricity provision, especially in value added services, access rights, prices and tariff, and technical norms. At the same time, pLC/BpL development also has implications in telecommunications regulation that must extend its functions vertically and horizontally. This study analyses the economic approach of the state of electricity and telecommunications regulation, its convergence or divergence in Mexico, as well as the regulatory challenges and the telecommunications policy challenges in order to make possible the coexistence of pLC/BpL technology with other developments and the com-petition structure.
