(Telecompaper) Mexico's Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) has finally launched the tender to build the country's shared mobile network around two years after the infrastructure project was first proposed as part of the reform to curb the market dominance of America Movil. SCT head Gerardo Ruiz Esparza said the winning bidder will be awarded high-quality 700 MHz spectrum and a 20-year public-private partnership to build the network but will need to cover at least 85 percent of the population and won't be permitted to sublet spectrum. In a statement, the SCT said the full conditions for the international tender will be published on 29 January.
