About this industry
Industry definition
The Wired Telecommunications Carriers industry in Mexico is comprised of operators that provide wireline telecommunications services, including wireline telephone services, broadband and narrowband internet access service and cable TV subscriptions. Mexico has historically had relatively low landline telephony infrastructure for a country of its income level. The geography of Mexico, with two high-altitude mountain ranges crossing the country, makes the provision of landline telephone services difficult for more remote areas of the country. In recent years, the industry has experienced increased competition from providers of wireless telecommunications services, particularly providers of cellular phone service and wireless internet. Mobile phone subscriptions now far outnumber landline subscriptions, which has placed significant pressure on industry growth, a trend that is only likely to intensify moving forward. Historically, the industry has been largely a monopoly or near-monopoly, dominated by América Móvil S.A.B. de C.V. (América Móvil) or its former parent company Telmex. However, in recent years, the Mexican government has undertaken efforts to decrease the market share of América Móvil and encouraged increased competition in the telecommunications industry as a whole. While América Móvil remains the largest company in this industry by far, its market share has decreased somewhat from its historic highs.
