Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim speaks during the presentation of a digital platform to create educational and employment opportunities inside Soumaya museum in Mexico CityBy Alexandra Alper and Tomas Sarmiento MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's telecoms regulator on Friday declared two of billionaire Carlos Slim's major financial and industrial companies "dominant" in telecommunications, but has yet to slap the tag on Slim's flagship telecom company.
