America Movil SAB, the wireless carrier controlled by billionaire Carlos Slim, predicts a new smartphone running Mozilla Corp.’s Firefox operating system will help boost revenue and profit.
“The opportunities for growth are huge” as only 15 percent of the 261.6 million wireless customers of Mexico City-based America Movil use smartphones, Chief Marketing Officer Marco Quatorze said in an interview in Barcelona yesterday. The highest adoption rates will come from Peru and Central America, he said.
