MEXICO CITY Feb 8 (Reuters) - Mexican media group Televisa has submitted a proposal to the country's anti-trust commission to acquire part of wireless phone operator Nextel's Mexico operation, a source at the commission said on Monday.

Mexican media reports said last month that Televisa, which would like to expand into triple-play services, was looking at paying $1 billion for a stake of between 20 percent and 30 percent in Nextel Mexico, part of the NII (NIHD.O) group. (Reporting by Tomas Sarmiento, editing by Maureen Bavdek)
