ABSTRACT
América Móvil operates in 18 countries, providing fixed-line, mobile phone, and subscription television services. It is the leading telecommunications company in Mexico, with the largest share of fixed-line, mobile, Internet, and broadband markets in the country, and the company is also one of the largest in Latin America and the rest of the world. Over a period of decades, América Móvil expanded its activities in telephony and the provision of telecommunication services to homes, businesses, and government in various countries, particularly in Latin America. The legal impossibility of América Móvil being able to provide television through its network or enter the free-to-air television market has been a recurring theme in the country for many years. The enormous economic and media power that is constructed around just one family does, without doubt, damage democracy, including the free exercise of journalism and the inclusion of diversity and plurality in the communication media.
