- Mexico will act to allow "last mile" access to the América Móvil-owned Telmex network to competitors, Reuters reports, in yet another move by the country to spur competition.
- Telmex -- part of Carlos Slim's telecom empire -- has a huge fixed-line infrastructure connecting to Mexico's end users. Details of the arrangement are unknown but will shake up consumer access, as América Móvil (NYSE:AMX) operates about 70% of the country's telephone lines, fixed and wireless.
- The country has been acting to decentralize the sector with tough new regulations, spurring moves like AMX's plan to spin off its towers into a separately traded company, Telesites; and influencing heavy investment by AT&T (NYSE:T) in the country.
