The Latest in IT Security

By Stephen Adler, Dave Graham and Christine Murray NEW YORK/MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – America Movil, Latin Americas biggest telecoms company, will move quickly to put an attractive cross-section of the company up for sale as it sheds assets to escape tougher regulation of the phone and broadcasting markets in Mexico, billionaire owner Carlos Slim said. The planned sale, announced on Tuesday, would cut the company’s dominant market share in Mexico and could generate billions of dollars. Slim, in his first interview since the announcement, also said the company would pursue expansion into Central and Eastern Europe through its investment in Telekom Austria and would likely sell the Mexican assets to a single buyer. Some people say that we are going to sell the low income customers, but nobody will buy that, we are thinking that we should do it in some transversal way…something that is attractive to buyers, Slim said late on Thursday in an interview conducted in both English and Spanish.
