The corporate structure of the telecommunications sector in Mexico has the potential to modify the conditions and purposes of business and investments of media companies in general. From this context, the objective is to identify how in this convergent environment, where cultural products are commercialized through the new networks, certain economic strategies are also established that alter and condition the business models of some film production companies in Mexico. In the end, this phenomenon may imply the consolidation of hegemony processes over cultural production, and the establishment of positions of power of certain production companies linked to these corporations, which at a certain moment may influence the distribution conditions of Mexican cinematography.
