IUSACELL CHARGES CARRIER WITH SUBSIDIZING TELCEL

MEXICO CITY-Grupo Iusacell S.A. de C.V. said it has filed a lawsuit against Telefonos de Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Radio Movil Dipsa, charging the firms with conducting monopolistic practices in Mexico’s telecommunications market.

Iusacell said it hopes the lawsuit results in Telefonos de Mexico treated as a separate business from its cellular subsidiary, Telcel. “Telefonos de Mexico engages in cross subsidies and discrimination with the objective of reducing current and future competition for fixed and mobile telecommunications,” Iusacell said. The lawsuit contends Telefonos de Mexico subsidizes its cellular subsidiary.
