Abstract

In the heyday of the Porfirian Age, Mexico City saw the birth a new market: that of the telephone service. This essay refers to the creation of this market stressing its private nature and the monopolic structure of the urban market. This situation did not change much after the introduction of a new player, Swedish company Ericsson, which henceforth shared the market with its American rival. la ciudad de México vio el nacimiento de un mercado nuevo durante el Porfiriato (1877-1911): el mercado del servicio telefónico. Este ensayo trata acerca de la creación de este mercado haciendo hincapié en su carácter privado y la estructura monopólica del mercado urbano. Esta situación no se modificó sustancialmente luego de la aparición de un nuevo actor, la empresa sueca Ericsson, la cual compartió el mercado con su competidora estadounidense.
