Mexican telecoms regulator Cofetel (Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones) has approved a resolution that classifies as open use of spectrum bands frequencies from 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz. These frequency bands can display multiple links of short range in areas at data rates that are very high.
Cofetel explain that the resolution ensures that spectrum does not remain in hands of a single operator. Frequency bands 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz can deliver applications that require large speeds of data transmission, such as voice over IP (VoIP) or video on demand in high-definition. Cofetel said the spectrum can be used as an alternative or complement to fiber-optic networks. Concessionaires of public telecommunications networks may use links as a complement to their transport networks.

In its statement, Cofetel said that the resolution opens an opportunity for new technology development and increase competition in the telecommunications sector.
