The list of available web services can be found here: https://www.inegi.org.mx/inegi/contenidos/serviciosweb/infogeografica.aspx Topographical maps can be found here: https://www3.inegi.org.mx/sistemas/biblioteca/detalle2.aspx?c=2031&upc=0&s=geo&tg=999&f=2&cl=0&pf=prod&ef=0&ct=206000000 Data is provided by INEGI in a large variety of formats, including SHP, WMS, GIF, TIF and GEOPDF. It cannot be downloaded in bulk but only for administrative regions. The downloadable is also not timely. But the webservice is. Also the complete webservice application can be downloaded and installed on a PC.
INEGI changed its internal normativity to make all information free. They only charge a cost of distributrion is incurred (eg. printing): https://sc.inegi.org.mx/repositorioNormateca/Nod_23Sep14.pdf
Right now the terms of use clearly state that the only requirement is the source attribution.
Furthermore, following the change in normativity already provided, starting november 11th, INEGI will adopt the Mexican Open license that can be found at 'https://datos.gob.mx/libreusomx/'.
