In a recent interview with Marc Ganzi, his first words regarding Mexico were “Mexico is really a tale of two cities” and that concept has been stuck in my mind since, mostly because it is the perfect description I had been looking for. Mexico is a country where opposite realities can coexist in relative harmony and the status of the telecom and tower industries is just another example of that.
América Móvil created its towerco earlier this year with the aim to manage 10,800 Telcel’s sites and develop the operator’s considerable pipeline of build-to-suit projects which has been estimated at around 1,000 sites per year.
