Mexican Moguls Play Monopoly With Telecoms

A tit for tat dispute among billionaires

Three of Mexico’s telecom giants are playing a game of monopoly, but it is unclear if any will be able to pass 'Go.' Luckily for them, they’ve all got way more than $200 in the bank. The world’s richest man, Carlos Slim Helu, and media giants Emilio Azcarraga Jean and Ricardo Salinas Pliego are fighting bitterly for a larger piece of Mexico’s telecom market.

Up for grabs is an industry projected to be worth $35 billion by 2015.
