America Movil SAB, the largest wireless carrier in the Americas, must cut the fees it charges a land-line rival by more than half, Mexico’s telecommunications regulator said.

America Movil can charge a rate of 39 centavos (3.2 cents) per minute this year to connect calls coming from the network of fixed-line carrier Alestra SA, the five-member board of Mexico’s Federal Telecommunications Commission ruled unanimously today. That compared with the 95-centavo rate America Movil has proposed and charges some of Alestra’s competitors.
