Axtel Informs Regarding Supreme Court's March 5, 2012 Decision

Axtel (News - Alert), S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: AXTELCPO; OTC: AXTLY) ("AXTEL" or "the Company"), a Mexican fixed-line integrated telecommunications company, today announced that Mexico's Supreme Court voted 8-2 against the proposal regarding the constitutional trial case between the Company and Radiomovil Dipsa S.A. de C.V. ("Telcel (News - Alert)") for the 2005-2007 period. The proposal that was rejected presented arguments against the appeal filed by AXTEL. A new proposal of resolution will be prepared by another Supreme Court Minister and will be discussed and voted again by the Supreme Court at a later date.

During the discussion, the Ministers commented that the cost model and the promotion of competition, among others, should be the basis for the determination of interconnection rates established by the Federal Telecommunications Commission ("Cofetel").

There is no specific deadline or timeframe as to when the new proposal of resolution will be scheduled, discussed and voted again by the Supreme Court.
