Mexican telecommunications giant América Móvil, parent company of Puerto Rico Telephone (Claro) announced Tuesday its plans to roll out its next-generation Long Term Evolution digital platform throughout Mexico and Puerto Rico starting next year.
Mexico’s Federal Competition Commission has slapped América Móvil with a $1 billion fine for monopolistic practices following a probe launched in that country in 2006. The watchdog agency determined the company, which commands 71 percent of Mexico’s mobile market through its Telcel subsidiary, is abusing its dominant position.
