In the mobile phone market Mexico is not that bad, it is still more expensive than other countries like USA or half of Europe, still with a market penetration of almost 70% it is a mature market, the bad thing is the providers:

- 80% of the market belongs to Telcel (America Movil)
- 10% is to Telefonica's Movistar (sucky coverage)
- 7% to Iusacell (Grupo Salinas cheaters at SEC) which is also Unefon (they merged) and they have bad coverage too
- 3% to NII or Nextel (which is not Sprint), the worst service, extremly expensive and the worst coverage ever.

Now there is a new player, I don't know if they had their own network or are renting others, it is MaxcomCel which is part of a small telecomm called Maxcom, they had presence (in all their services) in Puebla, Mexico City and Queretaro, but the mobile is in the entire country.

I'm beting they have their own network in their current cities and rent in the others. Still is not the best plan ever, they have only three phone models, all of them from the ubber ugly and useless Motorola.

But still is good that there are other players around. I just hope for better costs data and voice. I'm paying way to much for what I get.
