Spain green lights new wholesale fibre market regulation

Monday 18 October 2021 | 10:07 CET | News
Spain's communications regulator CNMC said it has finally approved a proposal set out back in November 2020 to update the country's wholesale fixed broadband rules. The main consequence of the update is the decision to significantly increase the number of cities deemed "competitive" from 66 to 696, meaning former incumbent Telefonica is no longer required to provide wholesale access to its fibre-optic network in areas representing over 70 percent of the Spanish population, up from 35 percent in 2016.
