Mexico’s telecoms regulator, Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (Ifetel), has in place a “preponderant economic agent” ruling, which América Móvil and Telcel are thought to be looking to suspend.
According to local reports, out of five justices in the court’s first chamber, not one was willing to take on the appeals from the operator.
As a result, the injunctions will now return to a lower court specialising in telecoms and economic competition.
América Móvil is one of Mexico’s largest players and last week, another dominant operator, Grupo Televisa, was denied a similar court hearing.
