América Móvil, the Mexican telecommunications company owned by multi-billionaire Carlos Slim, has acquired rights for home matches featuring Mexican top-tier football club Universidad de Guadalajara, according to news website La Aficion.

Mexico’s telecommunications regulator, the Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (IFT), is considering forcing Televisa and América Movil to share programming covered by existing ‘exclusive’ rights deals after blocking the media companies from striking such agreements in the future.
