www.researchandmarkets.com - Research and Markets (www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a1301e/mexico_mobile_ma) has announced the addition of the "Mexico - Mobile Market - Overview and Statistics" report to their offering.
Driven by a booming GSM market, Mexico's mobile industry is growing at a yearly rate of around 22%, reaching an estimated 60% penetration by September 2007. There
are now three major mobile operators: America Movil's Telcel and Telefonica's Movistar offer GSM services, while Grupo Iusacell (recently merged with Unefon) uses CDMA technology. A fourth operator, Nextel de Mexico, operates a mobile trunking system using the iDEN mobile communications standard. Despite increased competition since 2000, Telcel still dominates market share. Between 2003 and 2007, Mexican mobile operators have been upgrading their networks to offer high-capacity and high-speed data services, such as EDGE, 1xRTT and 1x EV-DO. This report provides an overview of Mexico's mobile market, accompanied by relevant statistical data and brief profiles of the operators, including monthly ARPU figures.
