Mexican operators set up LTE consortium

Mexican operator MVS Comunicaciones has set up a consortium with Intel, Clearwire and Alestra, the company which offers AT&T telecommunications services in Mexico. The partners are waiting for Mexico’s government to allow them to offer a wireless high-speed internet service after four years of negotiations, Bloomberg reports, citing Jose Antonio Abad, CEO of the consortium.

The group has switched to LTE technology for its plan from Wimax, the standard they planned to use when they announced their strategy in 2009, Abad said. The consortium plans a network investment of USD 400 million and could offer service in six months if the government allowed them to proceed, the executive added.
