  • Oecd Thematic Review of Tertiary Education
    OECD THEMATIC REVIEW OF TERTIARY EDUCATION Country Background Report for Mexico Ministry of Public Education November 2006 Preface This Country Background Report presents the current state of the higher education system in Mexico and its evolution in the last decade. It was prepared by the office of the Undersecretary of Higher Education of the Federal Government’s Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP). The original version of this report was written in Spanish and published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in 2006 and titled ¨La Política Educativa y la Educación Superior en México: Balance de una década 1995-2005¨. The book was originally translated into English by Claudia Esteve. With this report, Mexico contributes to the project coordinated by the OECD dealing with the comparative analysis of federal policies and the evolution of the systems of higher education of several countries during the last decade (The OECD Thematic Review of Tertiary Education). The report was produced by a team coordinated by Julio Rubio, Undersecretary of Higher Education SEP, with the participation of Jose A. Abud, Ignacio E. Arvizu, Eugenio Cetina, Francisco Demeneghi, Bulmaro Fuentes, Luis Mier y Terán, Hugo Moreno, Arturo Nava, Fernando Treviño and Armando Zapatero. The team was technically assisted by José Luis Cuevas, Efraín Juárez, Martha Riebeling, and Maria del Carmen Silva. Even though the thematic report was elaborated by SEP, it includes opinions and points of view of different actors interested in the development of the Mexican Higher Education System. Felicia Knaul was in charge of the management of Mexico’s participation in the OECD project. México, D.

Ahern Leslie Paul Machado NIXON PEABODY LLP 401 Ninth Street, NW - Suite 900 Washington, DC 20004 (202) 585-8321 Its Attorneys July 31, 2006 10058424.3 Summary The Telecommunications Regulatory Board of Puerto Rico ("Board") hereby replies to the Opposition of America M6vil, S.A. de C.V. and Verizon Communications Inc ("Applicants"). In their Opposition the Applicants once again fail to commit to any credible public benefit to Puerto Rico. Even the vaunted commitment to bring 3G to Puerto Rico is hobbled by two caveats, and the touted "economies of scale and scope" do not exist in the U.S. wireline market, where America M6vil has no other operations. Further, it is reasonable to suppose that America M6vil's preferred solution to penetration challenges will be to abandon the wireline infrastructure in favor of investment in wireless. But this will have a severely negative impact on developing competition in Puerto Rico. The legal standard relied upon by the Applicants does not require "absolute certainty" or "iron-clad" commitments, but it does require some credible public interest benefit. In this case, there is none. Consequently, the Commission should impose conditions to remedy the failings of the Applications. These conditions should consist of reasonable and achievable performance measures designed to assure quality of service to Puerto Rico consumers and competitors and specific commitments on infrastructure investment to improve telephone penetration as well as for its expansion, improvement and modernization.
