With one powerful group commanding the bulk of advertising revenues and audience, a weak public service system catering to the tastes of cultural elites, and numerous outlets depending on government money, the media sector in Mexico does not play a major role in the democratization of this, the most populous Spanish- speaking country in the world, home to over 112 million people. The emergence of digital media has not changed this situation: digitization of broadcasting remains an exclusively market-driven process whereby the access of community media to airwaves is barred while the internet is a luxury available to a small number of citizens. In a country ranking among the 15 largest economies worldwide, only 15 percent of households own a digital device and less than a third have a computer. Most rely on TV and radio.
