The Mexican mobile market surpassed the 75m mark during Q3 08 to finish the quarter with just under 75.7m customers.

The Top Operators in Caribbean & LatAm by Subscriber Growth

Between them, the ten fastest growing operators in Latin America and the Caribbean added a total of over 52m new connections over the past year, or around two thirds of the region's 78m total. Quarter on quarter, the bias towards the industry leaders was even more pronounced, with 17.55m of the 19.0m or so new connections happening at the top end of the market. The quarter is somewhat atypical, due to the dismemberment of Telemig, which has boosted the numbers for both Vivo and TNL, but this is a region with an unusual concentration of power.  more

This yields a penetration figure of 66.8% at the end of the quarter, up from 57.1% a year earlier.
