AT&T to Buy Nextel Mexico for $1.9 Billion

The deal is the second struck in Mexico by the telecommunications giant since November, when the company bought the big wireless service provider Iusacell for $2.5 billion.

AT&T has made it clear that international expansion has become one of its top priorities. One of the important parts of its pending $49 billion acquisition of DirecTV is acquiring the satellite television provider’s expanding presence in Latin America, already at 18 million customers and growing.
