[{"type":"text","content":"Valdor Expands into Mexico for Deregulation Opportunity(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nVancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / June 26, 2014 / Valdor Technology International Inc. (\"Valdor\") (TSX-V: VTI) (OTC: VTIFF) is pleased to report that joint venture partnerships are underway to benefit Valdor from the imminent deregulation of Mexico's telecommunication industry. Mr. Hector Toledo, Director, will be at the forefront of this initiative on behalf of Valdor. Valdor's joint venture partnerships will be structured to provide solutions for the FTTx and streaming video market sectors; the content focus will be health care, security and education. To satisfy the Mexican requirement for local content, Valdor plans to ultimately, but not immediately, establish a manufacturing facility within Mexico. \n\n \n \nIn the near future, Mexico's telecommunications service providers will be subject to deregulation imposed by the Mexican federal government. To increase the competitiveness of the country, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto is promoting deregulation of several industry sectors.

This event is expected to be similar in scope and consequence to the deregulation of AT&T in 1984 and 1996 imposed by the US federal government, and will open the Mexican market to competition. In 2013 the Mexican telecommunications market, including services, was about US$35 billion. This market has been growing at a rate of about 15% per year and is expected to grow at a rate of about 35% per year following deregulation.
