Mexico - Broadband and Internet Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts

Synopsis

Broadband is one of the highest growth sectors in Mexico’s telecommunications market. Nevertheless, the market suffers from a lack of competition, with Telmex still accounting for the lion’s share of ADSL subscribers. The main cable TV providers, Megacable, Cablemás and Cablevisión, have begun to incentivise the purchase of triple play bundles of cable TV, broadband and telephony, and as a result their broadband subscriber base continued to enjoy healthy growth through 2009 and into early 2010. Nevertheless, there is significant scope for additional growth as Mexico’s broadband penetration is less than half of the OECD average whilst its broadband prices are amongst the highest in the OECD. This report provides an overview of Mexico’s broadband and Internet market, accompanied by relevant statistical data.
