Totalplay interesada en red compartida de telecomunicaciones en México

Intel ID : 226812
Synopsis

Totalplay, a Mexico City-based telecoms company, is interested in participating in the tender of a shared telecoms network in Mexico, reported Reuters Latin America on 3 July, 2015, citing president Eduardo Kuri.

Kuri explained that Totalplay has the capacity to participate in the project, even though it does not own spectrum.

The network will operate in the 700-MHz spectrum and will be worth USD 7bn. Mexico's government is expected to launch the tender in October, 2015.

Kuri also announced Totalplay is not interested in using the last mile of the network operated by Telmex, given the technologies both companies use are incompatible. On 30 June, the federal telecoms institute (IFT) established the conditions to unbundle the network (see related intel).

Teleplay is a subsidiary of Mexico City-based holding, Grupo Salinas.
