The entrance of AT&T into Mexico through its acquisitions of Iusacell and Nextel is the start of a new chapter for the Mexican mobile market growth story. Should its merger with DirecTV be approved by the FCC AT&T will also hold a strong presence in Mexico's pay-TV market. This will bring real competition from an established player into Mexico helping to break the hold of America Movil over the market.
