MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Saturday the government would bring internet to remote areas of the country and that current concession holders should “stand aside” if they cannot do the job.
In a campaign-style speech to hundreds of supporters in El Nayar, a municipality in the western state of Nayarit, the veteran leftist said companies were not bringing internet to the remotest areas because they were only interested in profits. Lopez Obrador, who has pledged to ensure the whole country has internet, did not elaborate further, and a spokesman for the presidency could not immediately be reached for comment.
America Movil, the company controlled by business tycoon Carlos Slim, has long dominated the telephone and internet market in Mexico. The company’s principal competitors in telecoms are Spain’s Telefonica and U.S. firm AT&T Inc.
