“The highly controlled basic telephony services market in Mexico is largely dominated by one service provider - Telmex - and is

characterized by low competitive levels.”

“In expectation for the outcome of the new Mexican Telecommunications law, many companies, some of them

existing providers with other services, are expected to enter the local telephony services market, fueling competition and directly impacting pricing, quality of service and coverage, thus expanding the total addressable market and overall

improving and increasing total revenues.”

What We Offer

“Currently most of the competition in the local service telephony market in Mexico is limited to the largest metropolitan areas, where new competitors with lower investment can reach the largest number of potential consumers. Telmex on the other

hand has and will continue expanding its last mile access infrastructure deployment outside suburban areas, where

competition is minimal (if any) and accumulated demand is abundant. Future plans for the company seem very profitable,

where its urban last mile access network should generate funds by leasing it and its maintenance to different competitors fighting for the urban consumers and the rural network, should

generate profits by servicing the end user.”
