English abstract
Mexico lacks a written national information policy. Nonetheless, information policy is set up by several government bodies. The decision model resembles a scattered decision model, where several agencies take action on whatever they consider to be the best for the public and the information-handling communities. A description of "de facto" policies set up by leading information agencies and legal framework is provided. The absence of an information blueprint is regarded as a lack of coordination between information institutions, and an absence of rational planning. If Mexico is to enter the so-called information age, it requires an appropiate policy framework that can effectively harness the information flow in Mexican society.
