The Mexican Market

The Mexican market is open to new technology. However, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), as well as consumers, have limited access to bank credit and end up relying on alternate sources of financing.

Telmex, the former telephone monopoly, remains the dominant telecom carrier in Mexico with over 70% of long-distance revenues and 60% of business and consumer Internet connections. However, innovative Todito.com is gaining ground with their Todito Prepaid Internet Card.

Over the last three years mobile phone use has sky-rocketed. This has been mainly due to the "quien llama paga" (he who calls pays) regulation - making owning and receiving calls on a prepaid phone free after a small initial investment.

More software is being customized for the Mexican market than ever before.
