Comment on Twitter and Social Media in Mexico by Peter Kersbergen

I agree, internet is pretty much essential to your life these days. By making internet more difficult or expensive to obtain you are actually holding back the development and knowledge of your country. In countries such as Sweden and The Netherlands they understand this and created laws that make access to broadband / fast internet a right. For Mexico to remain competitive I hope the government there does something similar and somehow manages to severely reduce the costs of your average connection.

Quoting an article that was published in 2007, Mexico’s IT market is the second-largest in Latin America, after Brazil. According to the survey, conducted in 2007 by the Information Technology
and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) in 2007, Mexico took the 29th position among 30 most developed countries from the point of Internet access speed and cost view (Internet penetration rate, average download speed and cost of 1 Mbit per month were taken into consideration). Mexico’s penetration rate was 16% (against 42% of Portugal and 90% of South Korea that occupied the first position). Average download speed is just 1.1 Mbit per sec (compare to Japan that has 61.0 Mbit per sec). For all that Internet access in Mexico is the most expensive among these 30 countries: $ 60.01 per 1 Mb (thus it would cost you just $ 0.27 in Japan or $8.1 in Portugal). However, the registration in the zone of the Internet Mexoco code top-level domain, or ccTLD, .com.mx is not too much expensive – just $109 (as http://www.rwgusa.com says).

In terms of the tax, currently the cost of Internet has none, but the Congress was pushing for a 3%. This would have made it even more expensive. Normally you consider luxury items things that are not essential for your daily live, that is why taxes on cigarrettes etc are so high. However the point is that nowadays every country needs the Internet on their daily live, not only for entertainment, but for work, studying, communicating, which has made it into something essential in our lives.
