Mexico - Convergence Broadband and Internet Market Broadband is one of the highest growth sectors in Mexico's telecommunications market, the revenue of which remained in double digit growth for the fourth quarter of 2008 despite the broader economy posting negative growth for that period. For instance, Telmex's ADSL product, Prodigy Infinitum, continued to post very strong growth rates during 2008. The main cable TV providers, Megacable, Cablemás and Cablevisión, have begun to incentivise the purchase of triple play bundles of cable TV, broadband and telephony, and as a result their broadband subscriber base and in particular their VoIP subscriber numbers witnessed healthy growth during 2008. Nevertheless, there is significant scope for additional growth as Mexico's broadband penetration is merely around one-quarter of the OECD average. In the DTH satellite market, the entry in November 2008 of Dish Mexico brings long overdue competition to this sector. This report provides an overview of Mexico's Internet, broadband and broadcasting market, accompanied by relevant statistical data.

Mexico - Fixed-Line Market and Infrastructure - Overview and Statistics The fixed-line market in Mexico has enormous potential for growth. Overall teledensity stands at 19%, which is about average for Latin America, but there are huge disparities between urban and rural areas, ranging from 41% teledensity in the Federal District, to 5.6% in the poor, mainly Indian state of Chiapas. Despite liberalisation and growing competition, Telmex still dominates the fixed-line market. VoIP has gained huge popularity, especially with small and medium sized businesses. Several companies offer VoIP services, although providers have the same licensing requirements as other voice carriers, and many be shut down for operating illegally. This report provides brief profiles of the main fixed network operators, together with statistical data and an overview of the telecom infrastructure.

Mexico - Key Statistics Telecom Market and Regulatory Overview Mexico is the only OECD country yet to implement local loop unbundling. Basic telephony is still practically a monopoly, with Teléfonos de Mexico (Telmex) holding around 89% of all lines in service. Telmex's sister company, América Móvil, dominates the cell-phone sector through its unit Telcel, which has around 72% of the cellular market. In addition, Cofetel still requires greater independence and regulatory power in order to be able to properly foster a more competitive market. Calls for increased competition in the sector continue to mount. Thus, the competition agency, the CFC, announced separate investigations into the fixed-line, cellular and broadband sectors. Regulatory gamesmanship continues to typify the sector. For instance, in early 2009 when Cofetel published new interconnection regulations (known as PTFII) requiring all operators to provide third party access, Telmex responded by cutting planned investments in 2009 by a third. This report provides an overview and analysis of Mexico's telecommunications market and regulatory environment, accompanied by relevant statistical data.

Mexico - Telecoms Market Statistics & Forecasts The Mexican telecom industry is developing rapidly and has enormous growth potential, making it one of the most interesting telecom markets in the world. The most dynamic sectors are mobile telephony and the Internet, while fixed-lines are growing slowly. There have been complaints that, despite liberalisation, the basic telephone market is monopolised by incumbent Telmex, with around 95% market share, while the mobile market is dominated by Telmex's sister company América Móvil, with around 79% market share. Regulations issued in 2004, 2005, and 2006 aim to spur competition and reduce consumer prices. This report contains statistics and scenario forecasts for the country's fixed-line, mobile, and Internet markets for the years 2010 and 2015.
