Recent Developments

America Movil, which has been ruling the Mexican market for quite some time now, has been witnessing a decline in its profit margin in the region. Stringent regulatory measures and intensifying competition were the primary factors behind the dismal performance. The company has also beenfacing intense competitive pressurefrombehemoths like Telefonica SA TEF and AT&T Inc. T in Mexico who are gradually expanding their foothold in the market. Hence, America Movil is focused on shifting its business centre from to Brazil through the purchase Oi S.A., the biggest telecommunications company in the country. Although Oi may be too large to be acquired by any of the companies but its data centers, fiber networks and mobile operations make lucrative buyout options.

However, America Movil’s Brazilian operation, Claro is being challenged by Vivo, which is owned by Telefonica Brazil SA VIV. Telefonica Brasil operates as the leading telephone operator in Brazil following the establishment of Vivo as the commercial brand for all services.
