This is a Spanish-language transcript excerpt of a Cracks Podcast interview (Oso Trava with Carlos Slim) focused on Slim's decision to acquire Telmex and the strategic moves that followed. Slim recounts Telmex's ownership changes (foreign private → Mexican private in 1958 → state involvement and poor management by the 1970s), negotiations with foreign partners (Southwestern Bell/ATT and France Telecom), the development of prepaid mobile service (prepago) and the Telcel spin-off, and rapid subscriber growth in mobile telephony in Mexico and the US (from tens of thousands to tens of millions). The excerpt emphasizes operational fixes, competitive positioning against large global players, and the commercial rationale behind subsidized handsets and prepaid cards.
