MEXICO

摘要

With Mexico's competition regulator, Comision Federal de Competencia (Cofeco), having announced that it had reached a decision regarding local media giant Televisa's bid for a 50% stake in lusacell, details of the ruling have now been made public. The antitrust watchdog has given the go-ahead for the acquisition, despite having rejected the proposed tie-up back in January 2012 over concerns that it could threaten competition in the television advertising market. However, the deal is understood to hinge on a number of conditions, most notable of which is the success of a government auction of new TV frequencies enabling the launch of a new television network within two years.
