Among Comtelsat's clients are media giants such as América Móvil, Televisa, TV Azteca, Cablevisión, ESPN, el Canal del Congreso and TV UNAM, that have purchased construction of TV sets and even equipment for TV production.

Thanks to the fortune he made with Comtelsat, Manuel Arroyo grew from spectator to player in the media sector: he bought the daily El Financiero, national reference in topics related to economy. To strengthen his investment, Manuel Arroyo made an alliance with the international news agency for finance-related content Bloomberg. With it, he could easily produce content for the news channel El Financiero TV ownership of Grupo Multimedia Lauman.

In 2013, Manuel Arroyo was given the award "Empresario del Año 2013" (Businessman for the year 2013), granted by the Confederation of National Commerce Chambers (Confederación de Cámaras Nacionales de Comercio - Concanaco). The former President Enrique Peña Nieto was the one who handed him the award.
