Mexico City, February 8, 2007.- Telefonos de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. (TELMEX) (BMV: TELMEX; NYSE: TMX; NASDAQ: TFONY; LATIBEX: XTMXL) and America Movil, S.A.B. de C.V. (America Movil) (BMV: AMX; NYSE: AMX; NASDAQ: AMOV) today announced that their equally-owned joint venture has agreed with Verizon Communications Inc. ("Verizon") to terminate the joint venture's agreement to acquire Verizon's indirect equity interests in Compania Anonima Nacional Telefonos de Venezuela (CANTV).
