Mexican telecoms regulator IFT has announced that it will be requiring America Movil’s fixed-line units Telmex and Telnor to offer rival operators improved unbundling terms with a view to increasing competition in the sector. The IFT has been applying stricter measures since America Movil was declared a dominant player last year and has proceeded to reject the initial last mile terms and conditions submitted by Telmex and Telnor on 01 September.

Telmex, which currently operates some 70 percent of Mexico’s mobile and fixed lines, will be given 20 days in which to submit a revised plan following formal notification of the regulator’s decision.
