“Mexicos newly appointed communications and transport minister, Luis Tellez, said the administration was committed only to examining the possibility of new TV and radio stations in certain cities — not a third national network.

They were the first public comments on the issue by the new administration since President Felipe Calderon took office on Dec. 1. NBC Telemundo has aggressively been seeking to enter the Mexican market since 2005. Recent squabbles between the No. 2 U.S. Hispanic broadcaster and Mexican webs have sparked local debate on competition in Mexicos TV market.”
