America Movil mistakes in recent years
In 2007, before seeking to Televisa as a potential buyer, the owners of the Bestel network operator had already met with the Operations area of ??America Movil, but the company that manages Daniel Hajj was not interested in the offer.

Since 2010 when Telmex, America Movil absorbed their worst enemy in Mexico’s Televisa that through Bestel, which it acquired in late 2007, will fight government tenders in the slim phone that had spent some 20 years without serious competition.
