subject: The Internet In Mexico [print this page] Yes, Mexico has Internet serviceYes, Mexico has Internet service. Actually, Internet service in Mexico has grown 2100% in the years from 2001 to 2005. So yes, no worries in that department. Mexico is also one of the world's largest manufacturers of electronics, and the communications industry plays a large role in the nation's economics. Visiting Cancun shouldn't pose any problem for the technophile, as facebook and email will not be off limits by any stretch of the imagination. Message your friends pool-side as you relax in Puerto Vallarta. Check on your hometown news while enjoying the spa at Playa del Carmen resort. It's all good.
Up until the early 1990's most entities providing any sort of infrastructure were owned by the state, including Internet Service Providers (ISP). It took five years for regulations to be worked out for the Telecommunications industry after the state monopoly was placed in the hands of entrepreneurs.. Telmex had a head start of five years (a time they used to build their business profile), while their competitors were locked out of the market, as they waited for regulations to be made law. It was a golden period for Telmex, and certainly caused many to ask if the President was truly impartial to the proceedings.
As was the case in the 1990's, unlike now; the days when asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) at 8.0 Mbit per second was still the fastest way to get to the Internet. Telmex still has a monopoly on ADSL in Mexico, and there are still hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Wimax is the choice of the serious citizen and business user of the Internet.
Wimax connections for Internet access and phone lines were available when Accesso Universal began offering the service in 2008. As a technology that has the ability to provide 40 Mbit per second, it surpasses the wireless range of regular Wi-Fi local area connections and is therefore far more usable for businesses with a large geographical range.
Without bothering with multiple hubs, businesses can have secure Internet access for workers, using Wimax technology. Patrols are no longer required on some ranches, as digital cameras now provide easy surveillance of cattle ranches, that sprawl hundreds of acres.. Police and military have field access to important information. Hotels and resorts with large facilities can now provide their guests with reliable Internet access, even in the far corners of the gym or spa. Not every resort has acquired Wimax yet, but they will as soon as enough guests ask for it!
