America Movil lanceert LTE in Mexico

America Móvil heeft zijn 4G-netwerk commercieel in werking gesteld met de bedoeling begin volgend jaar twee derde van Mexico dekkend te hebben. De komende drie jaar zal het telecomconcern onder leiding van Carlos Slim bijna vier miljard dollar investeren in zijn netwerken, waarvan één miljard in zijn LTE-netwerk.

De uitrol van LTE in Mexico begint in negen grote steden en zal naar verwachting worden uitgebreid naar 26 steden in april 2013. Daarmee zou dan 65 procent van de bevolking toegang hebben tot LTE-diensten. Ongeveer 35 procent van de klanten van Telcel, de Mexicaanse dochter van America Móvil, gebruikt mobiele datadiensten. America  Móvil levert al LTE-diensten in Puerto Rico en sommige Mexicaanse steden.

America Móvil heeft in Nederland sinds juni een 27,7 procent belang in KPN. Het concern wil met een belang in KPN voet aan de grond krijgen op de Europese telecommarkt. America Móvil heeft ook sinds dit jaar een 21 procent belang in Telekom Austria.
