Mobile Mexico:

Executive Summary: Mobile phone adoption in Mexico has been slow, hobbled by general economic conditions
and by a lack of competition in the mobile space, which has kept prices high for advanced mobile devices and
for data plans. Compounding the situation, cultural preferences have helped hold back widespread adoption of
postpaid phone plans, which tends to be a bellwether for increased mobile use.
