The Mexican media and internet conglomerate MVS Comunicaciones has announced a plan to roll out an LTE network in Mexico through a partnership with the US WiMAX provider Clearwire, chipmaker Intel and the Mexican telco Alestra.
The LTE network would potentially cover 55 million Mexicans and operate in the 2.5GHz band. It will require an initial investment of US$400m.
In a statement, MVS said that it had not received the investment yet and that it was still waiting for various regulatory approvals and guidelines to be set.
MVS said that KDDI and two South Korean telcos (KT and SK Telecom) had also expressed interest in participating in the project.
It also noted several more potential investors, including BT, Comcast, Google, and Vodafone.
