Mexican mobile carrier Pegaso, majority-owned by local conglomerate Grupo Pegaso, performed worst out of several companies subjected to service-quality testing in early May by regulator Cofetel, according to a report in Mexican financial daily El Economista. The survey, conducted in the cities of Toluca and Hermosillo, found that 11.9 percent of all calls made using Pegaso's mobile service could not be completed, while 2.2 percent of calls connected were subsequently cut off. Using service provided by Telcel, a subsidiary of American Movil (NYSE:AMX), 2.8 percent of all calls could not be completed and 1.2 percent of completed calls were cut off. At Movitel, a subsidiary of Spanish-owned Telefonica Moviles (NYSE:TEM), the no-completion rate was 2.5 percent and the cut-off rate 1.1 percent. Pegaso's no-completion rate, at 11.9 percent, was more than double Cofetel's maximum permitted rate of 5 percent.
