Market Report, "Mexico Telecommunications Report Q4 2014", published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Tue Aug 26 2014


A change in regulatory environment enforcing more market openness and competition marks a very positive change for the Mexican telecommunication market. Following the ratification of the new telecommunications law in July 2014, dominant broadband and telephony operator América Móvil and dominant broadcaster Televisa are forced to undertake measures to decrease their respective market shares. This will allow for new players to enter the Mexican ICT market and will likely result in redistribution of market shares among the existing market participants and potentially lower prices for consumers as a result of increased competition. Developing new networks will also become cheaper as infrastructure sharing deals are likely. As a result, BMI has upgraded its mobile subscription forecast. Due to a degree of uncertainty over the course of action dominant producers will take and the timescales, BMI believes that the positive impact will have a maximum impact on mobile subscriber growth in 2015 .

Key Data

Risk/Reward Ratings

Mexico held on to the top spot in our ratings this quarter, marking three straight quarters at the top of the table. With low penetration, it is one of the few telecoms markets demonstrating a strong growth potential over BMI's five-year forecast period, helping keep the market above others in the region. The country saw a 5-point upgrade to its Industry Risks score, as the new regulatory body Ifetel has been imbued with more powers than its predecessor...
