Claro Central America boosted by fixed lines

America Movil’s Central American units, operating under the Claro brand, reported first-quarter revenues of $568 million, up 3 percent year-on-year thanks above all to an 8 percent rise in fixed line subscriptions, including a 16.6 percent surge in broadband access.

Mobile service revenues were up 1.2 percent to $380 million, partly affected by the deceleration of mobile data revenues, above all in Guatemala. However, fixed-line revenues climbed 6 percent to $192 million.
