Telecommunications regulatory developments have emerged in Mexico, Spain, and Venezuela. 

In Mexico, initial proposals focused on ‘Protection of Audience Rights’ through the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission, which the Claudia Sheinbaum administration stated would protect citizens from false information, though critics expressed concerns regarding media freedom. Subsequent proposals in Mexico shifted toward economic policy, suggesting a 12 percent reduction in radio spectrum costs for mobile services and potential discounts on rights payments in exchange for coverage obligations.

In Spain, the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) moved to deregulate the television signal broadcasting market by allowing Cellnex to replace current regulations with voluntary commitments. 

In Venezuela, regulatory discussions regarding Conatel’s authorization attributes have raised concerns for over-the-top (OTT) platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon. There are warnings that classifying these streaming services as subscription broadcasting services could subject them to obligations designed for traditional network operators.
