Banco de Información de Telecomunicaciones / Telecommunication Information Bank

BIT

The BIT is a web tool that was launched by the Federal Telecommunications Institute in May 2017. The platform was developed to publish the statistical information that the IFT uses to track and regulate the Broadcasting and Telecommunication industries in Mexico. Furthermore, the platform is an interactive web tool that follows international best practices in terms of open data and transparency. Through the BIT, the IFT is aiming to achieve the following goals: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Spain, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela. • Create knowledge regarding the development of the Mexican Broadcasting and Telecommunication industries. • Strength the decision making process for the industries stakeholders. • Enhance the development of sectorial public policy to improve the welfare of Mexican society. The BIT has indicators about fixed and mobile services at a national, state and municipal level. Also, it has macroeconomic indicators for the Telecommunication and Broadcast industries, portability and international benchmarks. This information is necessary to support the investment decisions in infrastructure of telecom operators since they can identify business opportunities among the Mexican territory, which contributes to SDG Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation. Also, this information is used to design public policies for the bridging of the digital divide, which is one of the main obstacles to reduce inequality among society and among countries, since prevents people to take advantage of the ICT opportunities for development. This contributes to SDG Goal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries.
