Billionaire Carlos Slim’s America Movil and Mexico’s state oil firm have become embroiled in a public fight over a government contract after the telecommunications giant filed complaints and a legal challenge, saying it unfairly lost the bid.
A rival group, including a unit of Mexican broadcaster Grupo Televisa <TLVACPO.MX>, won a contract in June for nearly $36 million to provide internet to the oil company known as Pemex.
America Movil had presented a cheaper offer of roughly $24.5 million, a company spokesman said, and went on to file complaints against Pemex.
A Pemex spokesman said on Monday that the company expects to respond in several days but has not set an exact date.
