On the same day last week that Mexico’s lower House of Congress
approved an anti-monopoly telecom reform bill that, if enacted, will
give billionaire tycoon Carlos Slim the ability to enter the
television industry, Slim’s America Movil (NYSE: AMX) announced that
it had obtained the exclusive broadcast rights to the 2014 winter
Olympic games in Sochi, Russia, and the 2016 summer Olympic games in
Rio de Janeiro for all of Latin America (with the exception of
Brazil). Neither Slim nor the International Olympic Committee revealed
the amount that America Movil paid for the exclusive rights in Latin
America, but Mexican analysts estimated it at $110 million dollars.
