Red Compartida: an enabler of Financial Inclusion
Financial inclusion efforts in Mexico seek to harness the opportunities offered by mobile technology– in Mexico today, 54 out of every 100 residents have mobile internet services.
However, to leverage cellular penetration in the country, we need reliable, fast, and affordable ways to reach users.
Red Compartida, by providing at least 85% of the population (more than 40 million additional citizens) with high-quality and low-priced broadband access will achieve exactly this.
Red Compartida will make possible the expansion of 4G data access to a much larger proportion of the population.
This increase in access will facilitate the development and spread of new apps & services targeted towards meeting the financial needs of historically under-served segments of the population.
