The metal lath used in traditional stucco construction is expanded sheet metal, not chicken wire. Stucco, being a cementitious material (not mud) is heavy and needs a much more substantial substrate than is chicken wire. This is common construction used throughout the southwest, on into Mexico and throughout Latin America, to be sure. It also finds its way north, but not to the extent used further south.

The 'stucco' many modern buildings are made of is not stucco at all, but rather an acrylic coating mixed with sand that looks like stucco, is much lighter, and is laminated onto a substrate of rigid insulation and fiberglass fabric. It is commonly known as Dryvit. This would not have any of the electomagnetic properties of metal lath. The article simply stated that the metal substrate used for stucco limited the performance of the wireless system. There is no reason to doubt that this is true.

All the confusion could easily be laid to rest with a substantial update on the commercial performance of and the number of subscribers to the network in Pachuca.
