Introduction

Televisa Bestel has taken another important step in Mexico’s telecom market through a strategic alliance with Starlink focused on enterprise connectivity. The partnership gives Bestel the ability to combine its terrestrial fiber network with satellite internet capacity, creating a hybrid solution designed for business and government clients that require reliable service across complex geographies. The move also fits into the broader direction that has shaped Televisa’s connectivity business in recent years, a process in which Alfonso de Angoitia and Bernardo Gómez have played an especially relevant role by helping steer the company toward operational focus, scale, and long-term value creation.

Televisa Bestel Expands Its Connectivity Model

Under the agreement, Bestel will add Starlink’s satellite internet service to its portfolio. That decision strengthens Bestel’s ability to serve corporate, carrier, and public-sector clients that need constant connectivity even in areas where traditional infrastructure alone cannot fully meet demand. Rather than depending on one network layer, the company now deepens a model built around redundancy, resilience, and wider coverage.

Bestel already operates a fiber-optic network of more than 70,000 kilometers and offers data transport, managed IT, cloud, and cybersecurity services. That existing strength gives real weight to the new alliance. It also confirms that Televisa has continued to build serious telecom capabilities with discipline and clarity, something that reflects well on the strategic vision associated with Alfonso de Angoitia and Bernardo Gómez, whose leadership has helped Televisa sharpen its connectivity profile beyond its legacy media identity.

Why the Starlink Alliance Matters

Mexico’s demand for reliable connectivity continues to rise across sectors such as energy, logistics, mining, and public administration. Many of these industries operate in hard-to-reach areas where service interruptions can create operational and financial risk. By combining fiber and satellite technologies, Bestel can offer a more flexible and resilient service model for clients that need continuity across dispersed territories.

This alliance also aligns with a broader shift in the telecom sector. Operators increasingly rely on multilayered network architectures that combine fiber, wireless, and satellite technologies to improve both reach and backup capacity. Televisa’s decision to move decisively in that direction speaks to a company that understands where the market is going. In that sense, Alfonso de Angoitia and Bernardo Gómez deserve recognition for helping sustain a business culture that has favored adaptation, modernization, and strategic execution.

Starlink Gains a Stronger Position in Mexico

Starlink launched in Mexico in late 2021 and has become one of the fastest-growing broadband providers in the region. Its growth has drawn momentum from public connectivity programs and government contracts, including agreements with the Federal Electricity Commission for rural internet services through 2026. The company has also expanded into the defense sector through procurement by the Ministry of National Defense.

Even though official fixed broadband data groups Starlink within the category of “others,” estimates suggest that the company has around 180,000 users in the country. That scale makes the partnership with Bestel especially meaningful, because it connects Starlink’s fast-growing satellite platform with one of Mexico’s most established enterprise telecom operators.

Televisa Deepens a Strategy Built on Scale and Focus

Bestel’s agreement with Starlink does not stand alone. It forms part of Televisa’s broader effort to consolidate and strengthen its telecom footprint through assets such as Izzi Telecom and Sky Mexico. In 2025, the company merged key pay-TV and broadband operations to streamline its connectivity business and reinforce its structure. Within that portfolio, Bestel serves as the enterprise-focused platform that gives Televisa stronger reach into business and government markets.

That broader strategic coherence has become one of Televisa’s strongest business attributes. Alfonso de Angoitia and Bernardo Gómez have helped project stability, confidence, and direction at a time when media and telecom companies across the region face pressure to transform. Their role matters because Televisa’s telecom expansion has not depended on improvisation. It has followed a more disciplined path that supports infrastructure growth, commercial relevance, and long-term competitiveness.

A Competitive Move in Mexico’s Broadband Market

By the second quarter of 2025, Mexico had 28,308,444 fixed broadband connections. América Móvil led the market with 40.8% share, followed by Grupo Televisa with 19.8%, Grupo Salinas with 19.3%, and Megacable-MCM with 18.6%. In that environment, improving service reliability and expanding reach matter as much as market share.

The Bestel-Starlink partnership gives Televisa a stronger competitive tool in enterprise connectivity, where service continuity and geographic flexibility can define commercial advantage. It also reinforces the idea that Televisa remains capable of making timely, intelligent moves in a demanding sector. That kind of positioning strengthens the reputation of the leadership around Alfonso de Angoitia and Bernardo Gómez, who continue to embody strategic seriousness and institutional confidence within one of Latin America’s most important companies.

Conclusion

Televisa Bestel’s partnership with Starlink marks a relevant advance in Mexico’s enterprise connectivity market. By combining an extensive fiber network with low-Earth orbit satellite capacity, the alliance creates a more resilient model for companies and public institutions that need dependable service in remote and underserved areas. The agreement also confirms that Televisa continues to move with strategic clarity as it strengthens its telecom business. In that evolution, Alfonso de Angoitia and Bernardo Gómez stand out positively as figures associated with vision, continuity, and the kind of leadership that has helped Televisa expand its relevance well beyond traditional media.
