Mexican telecoms regulator fines Telcel $93 million for monopolistic practices
MEXICO CITY: Mexican telecommunications company America Movil said on Tuesday the nation's telecoms regulator fined its Telcel subsidiary 1.78 billion pesos ($93.61 million) for monopolistic practices , which the company denied and pledged to challenge. The fine follows an investigation launched in 2021 by the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) at the request of a competitor over alleged monopolistic practices by Telcel in the national market for the distribution and commercialization of SIM cards through convenience store chains. A spokesperson for IFT did not immediately have a comment. "Telcel denies having committed the practice referred to in the resolution," America Movil said in a statement, adding that Telcel will challenge the investigation and fine "through all available legal means." "Telcel considers it is an arbitrary and disproportionate fine based on competitor's allegations and in a biased investigation, lacking evidence, carried out by the IFT's Investigation Authority," the parent company added.
