Research and Markets: Mexico - Mobile Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts - 2012

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/59kw39/mexico_mobile_ma) has announced the addition of the "Mexico - Mobile Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.

Following a slowdown in the Mexican mobile market in 2009, the sector recovered during 2010 and 2011 though subscriber growth remains in single figures as a result of higher mobile penetration.

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 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.


Following the 3G spectrum auctions held in 2010, increased competition is expected during the next few years 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 to 2016. Brief profiles of the major operators including monthly ARPU figures are also provided.

Key Developments: - Mobile penetration approaches 85% - Spectrum auctions in the 1.9GHz and 1.7GHz bands completed - Telcel maintains a 70% market share - Nextel enters the mobile market - Telef?nica success in spectrum auctions - Televisa buys a 50% stake in Iusacell but merger rejected by Federal Competition Commission over FTA TV competition issues - Am?rica M?vil develops m-payment platform with banks - Operator data to Sept 2011 - Market developments to early 2012.
