Latin America - Mobile Network Operators and MVNOsNEW YORK, May 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Latin American MNOs expecting further competition into 2016 The second largest operator in Latin America remains Telefónica, operating under the Movistar brand in all markets except Brazil, where it operates under the Vivo brand. Brazil is Telefónica's key market in the region, where it has over 81 million mobile subscribers and generated revenue of some €7.6 billion in 2014. In Mexico, a new regulatory regime was recently introduced aimed at curbing the dominance of América Móvil, which controls 70% of the wireless market and 80% of landlines. The operator is obliged to reduce its market share to below 50%, and to this end it has made moves to sell its local assets regionally. The process has made room for other operators both locally and from AT&T, which acquired Nextel Mexico in April 2015. During 2015 there were moves to facilitate access to services between the Mexico and the US, with Telcel having launched its Sin Fronteras Plan (No Borders Plan) under which customers can make calls from Mexico to the US charged as a local call.
