What is the regulatory fee in Mexico? 


Mexico’s Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation imposes a 5% fee to all foreign satellite operators. You can read more about the “Reservation of the State” in Article 150 of the Federal Law of Telecommunications and Broadcasting.

Additional notes:

  • This fee is bundled with the monthly service cost every month.
  • Fee Name on Invoice: Regulatory Service Cost // Costo Regulatorio del Servicio
