DD INSIDE!: Multi-billion dollar TV corporation in Mexico is using and testing Wialan's wireless access boxes.

I found this on Wialan's site: http://www.wialan.com/typography/2013-08-09-14-50-25/86-cablevision-mexico-city.html

So I did a little further digging on who CableVision Mexico is (they are not Cablevision US or CV Canada) and found this article that gives good details about CableVision Mexico, which is part of Televisa (aka Grupo Televisa SAB ):

http://www.4-traders.com/GRUPO-TELEVISA-SAB-6492889/news/Grupo-Televisa-SAB--Mexicos-Cablevision-Sets-Sights-On-Small-Medium-Business-14328108/

Televisa, Mexico's largest television broadcaster and pay-TV service provider, has been making a concerted push into the telecommunications market through its cable operations. The company also is awaiting a response to its appeal to the federal antitrust commission against its plan to take a 50% stake in mobile-phone operator Grupo Iusacell, with which it could add wireless service to its triple-play offerings.

Cablevision Chief Executive Jean Paul Broc said around 45,000 of Cablevision's customers are already small businesses, although they subscribe to residential services. The new business-plan drive includes special attention for commercial users, he added.

Cablevision, the second largest of Televisa's three cable units, had 741,000 TV subscribers, 436,000 Internet subscribers and 268,000 phone-service subscribers at the end of the first quarter.

Executives said that within three or four years, small and medium businesses could account for 30% to 40% of Cablevision's revenue. The company reported sales of 1.92 billion pesos ($140 million) in the first quarter of this year, a 15% increase from the year-ago period.

Next, who is Televisa, aka Grupo Televisa SAB?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Televisa

Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. is a Mexican multimedia mass media company, after Organizações Globo is the largest in Latin America[2][3] and the first of Spanish-speaking world.[4] It is a major international entertainment business, with much of its programming airing in the United States on Univision, with which it has an exclusive contract.


Products Broadcasting, cable TV, radio, publishing, Internet
Revenue Increase US$ 5.3 billion (2012)
Profit Increase US$ 672.7 million (2012)

Their stock is worth $28/share.


These guys are working on using/testing Wialan's technology and may even ask Wialan to provide them WiFi access for broadcasting on a large scale.
