Broadband, especially ADSL, is one of the fastest growing telecom markets in Mexico. The shift from dialup to broadband became apparent in 2005, when dial-up accounts started to decrease, while broadband soared by around 122%. WiMAX made a first appearance in Mexico in December 2005, when fixed-line operator Axtel launched high-speed Internet access in Monterrey over a WiMAX network supplied by Intel. Mexico’s first triple play service, combining cable TV, Internet, and telephony, was launched in March 2005 by fixed-line provider Maxcom and local cable TV operator SIT. A second triple play package followed in September 2005, offered by fixed-line provider Axtel and cable TV operator Cablemás.

Sponsored Link: Mexico - Key Statistics, Telecom Market and

The Mexican telecom industry is developing rapidly and has enormous growth potential, making it one of the most interesting telecom markets in the world. There have, however, been complaints that, despite liberalisation, basic telephony is still almost a monopoly, with Teléfonos de Mexico (Telmex) holding around 94% of all lines in service. Telmex’s sister company América Móvil dominates the mobile sector through its unit Telcel, which has around 80% of the market. Regulations issued in 2004 and 2005 aim to spur competition and reduce consumer prices. This report provides an overview of Mexico’s telecom market and regulatory environment, accompanied by statistical data.
