 Mexico - Broadband and Internet Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
Broadband is one of the highest growth sectors in Mexico's telecommunications market. Nevertheless, the market suffers from a lack of competition, with Telmex still accounting for the lion's share of ADSL subscribers. 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 continued to enjoy healthy growth through 2010 and into early 2011. Nevertheless, there is significant scope for additional growth as Mexico's broadband penetration is less than half of the OECD average while its broadband prices are amongst the highest in the OECD. This report provides an overview of Mexico's broadband and Internet market, accompanied by relevant statistical data.

Mexico - Fixed-Line Market and Infrastructure - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
Mexico's growth in fixed lines has been steadily declining over the last decade, from 13% in 2000 to zero growth in 2009. Thus fixed-line teledensity is stagnating at approximately 18.5%. In addition, there remain significant disparities in fixed-line penetration between urban and rural areas. Telmex still dominates the fixed-line market with around 85% of lines and investment and competition remains stifled by the fact that Mexico is the last country in the OECD yet to unbundle its local loop.
In addition, VoIP is rapidly gaining popularity although its growth will remain constrained by relatively low broadband penetration. Regulatory reform may be on the horizon, with the regulator recently ruling Telmex to have market dominance thus opening the way for potentially tougher company-specific regulations. This report provides brief profiles of the main fixed-network operators, together with statistical data, subscriber forecasts and an overview of Mexico's telecom infrastructure.

Mexico - Key Statistics, Telecom Market and Regulatory Overview
Synopsis
Mexico is the last OECD country yet to implement local loop unbundling. Basic telephony is still practically a monopoly held by Teléfonos de Mexico (Telmex). Telmex's sister company, América Móvil, also dominates the mobile phone sector through its Mexican unit Telcel, although spectrum auctions planned for mid-2010 may usher new entry into the mobile market. Calls for increased competition in the industry continue to mount. Signs of strengthening regulation were emerging in the form of determinations by the competition agency, the CFC, that Telmex was a dominant player in the fixed line sector and Telcel a dominant player in the mobile sector. These decisions pave the way for Cofetel to impose stricter regulations on the conglomerate. In addition, in early 2010 the Calderon government reiterated its intention to strengthen laws and regulatory institutions in Mexico in the interests of greater competition. This report provides an overview of Mexico's telecommunications market and regulatory environment, accompanied by relevant statistical data.

Mexico - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
Following a slowdown in the Mexican mobile market in 2009, the sector recovered slightly during 2010 as evidenced by a 9% increase in mobile subscribers compared with 7% in 2009. Subscriber growth is expected to remain in single figures during 2011, largely due to penetration rates exceeding 80%.
While Telcel still dominates market share, a decision by the competition regulator in early 2010 to restrict the operator's dominance held the promise of for more stringent regulation in favour of Telcel's competitors. Accordingly, in early 2011 the competition regulator fined Telcel the maximum levy of 10% of its assets for engaging in ‘monopolistic practices'.
In addition, following the 3G spectrum auctions held in July 2010, increased competition is expected during 2011 with operators such as Movistar better positioned to offer mobile data services. Furthermore, as a consequence of its bidding successes at the spectrum auctions, Nextel has revealed plans to deploy a 3G wireless network, thereby increasing the competitive pressure on market leader Telcel.
This report provides an overview of Mexico's mobile market, accompanied by relevant statistical data and subscriber forecasts, as well as brief profiles of the major operators including monthly ARPU figures.

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.
