The Televisa Law (Spanish: ''Ley Televisa'') is the name given by the press to the Federal Law of Radio and Television (Spanish: Ley Federal de Radio y Televisión or LFRTV), a controversial law approved by the Congress of Mexico in 2006, shortly before the presidential election. This law concentrates on the deregulation of the digital spectrum to be assigned to the two national television networks in the country: Televisa and TV Azteca. This law concedes these two private television networks, free of monetary costs, a public good belonging to the Government of Mexico which is the digital frequency spectrum. ==Background== One of the main promoters of the ''Televisa Law'' was Javier Orozco Gómez, General Attorney of the Grupo Televisa and later federal deputy representing the Partido Verde Ecologista de México and replacement senator for Irma Ortega Fajardo during the presentation of the law.

Fernández de Cevallos directed harsh criticism towards Javier Corral〔(''Javier Corral, «''inconforme''» y «''resentido''» por la LFRTV, dice Diego Fernández'' ), ''La Jornada'', December 15, 2005〕 who opposed the law due to his personal convictions against the generalized opinion of his party. Corral Jurado limited himself to say that he would keep striving for an integral, democratic reform for the electronic media. The appearance of Jorge Arredondo Martínez, and engineer and president of the Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones declared after the incisive questioning by Emilio Gamboa Patrón, senator from the PRI, whether the law constituted an advance: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Televisa Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
