(Telecompaper) Telefonica is prepared to reach network sharing deals with rivals such as AT&T and America Movil with a view to boosting its performance in Mexico, according to Chief Operating Officer Jose Maria Alvarez-Pallete. Speaking at the XXIX telecommunications and digital economy meeting in Santander, Alvarez-Pallete said the company "has the obligation to explore possibilities" in Mexico, including sharing networks with AT&T or accessing towers from Telesites, the recently spun off towers business of America Movil. "We can't intend to grow in Mexico without having a good network and we are light-years away from it. So, what has to be expected from us in Mexico is strong investments, and potentially agreements to access towers or for combined creation of infrastructure," he said, according to Bloomberg.
