Eight Major Barriers to Connectivity and the Freedom to Communicate in Mexico Lack of Infrastructure Lack of Political Consensus Insufficient Telecommunications Investment Lack of Competition Cost of Service

Major Barriers to Connectivity and the Freedom to Communicate cont’d. Legal Issues Social and Cultural Barriers Direct and Indirect Censorship

R ECOMMENDATION : Develop a national consensus and plan for the digital society in Mexico Make telecommunications one of the top items in the national agenda. Create a national campaign to drive investment and engagement in the digital society.

R ECOMMENDATION : Develop the digital infrastructure Improve markets by promoting competition and rejecting discrimination. Where markets fail, government has a role to subsidize investment to spur the development of broadband infrastructure. Targeted investments can help, but government should first do no harm.

R ECOMMENDATION : Develop a culture of innovation R ECOMMENDATION : Develop an ecosystem for investment in innovation Invest in human capital – innovation springs from knowledge, creativity, talent of people Nurture innovation where curiosity, inquiry and experimentation thrive: universities, cultural institutions, corporate R&D centers Access to capital in formative stages of development is critical

R ECOMMENDATION : Develop an enabling environment for freedom and connectivity Preserve a Free Press and the Freedom to Communicate. Reject censorship, including overly broad legislation and policies that hamper an open Internet. Re-evaluate the 2007 electoral reform law. Complete enactment of a constitutional amendment giving the Federal Government the authority to investigate violent crimes against journalists and fully fund implementation and enforcement of this authority. The media can help themselves by adopting voluntary internal codes of conduct that minimize the sensationalism of reporting on violence in Mexico without compromising the principles of good journalism. Develop legal structures for freedom. Adopt new paradigm thinking. Embrace a multi-stakeholder approach to Internet governance. Overcome cultural barriers by working together.
