On January 13, after a nearly three-year legal battle, the First Chamber of Mexico s Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Indigenous Community Telecommunications (Telecomunicaciones Indígenas Comunitarias, TIC) organization
, exempting them from paying for a concession license to use radio spectrum.
This decision allows TIC to offer affordable cell phone services to indigenous communities in the country. The court case also set a legal precedent for local communities to operate their own telecommunications services for free under social use concession licenses drawing a line between commercial and community providers.
¡Excelentes noticias! Con una votación unánime se emitió una sentencia favorable a TIC A.C. y en general al sector de las #telecomunicaciones protegiéndose los #derechosíndigenas para la operación de medios de comunicación propios. ¡Un logro de las comunidades y organizaciones! https://t.co/2c
