An appeal by Mexican telecoms giant America Movil (AM) against a ruling that it is dominant in the market for mobile call termination has reportedly been rejected by the local antitrust authority, the Comision Federal de Competencia (Cofeco).

Indeed, such a move would echo the steps taken by Cofetel last week, when it set out new regulations requiring Telefonos de Mexico (Telmex), the country’s fixed line incumbent and also a subsidiary of AM, to incorporate price and quality controls on wholesale services it sells to competitive service providers
