Telefonica bids EUR 725 mln for controlling Digital+ stake
2014-05-07 09:09:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telefonica has informed Spain's market regulator CNMV that it has made a EUR 725 million binding bid for the controlling 56 percent stake in Spanish pay-TV platform Digital+ held by local media group Prisa. Telefonica already owns 22 percent of Digital+, while the remaining 22 percent is in the hands of Italian broadcaster Mediaset. The deal is pending regulatory approval but if it goes through Telefonica would acquire a large customer base in the form of the 1.6 million subscribers to Spanish pay-TV channel Canal+. These customers, who pay an average EUR 43 per month in subscription fees, could subsequently be transferred to Telefonica's growing fibre optic network. The acquisition of Digital+ would also give the operator access to Prisa's TV catalogue, including its rights to live Spanish football games, above all the highly lucrative Barcelona-Real Madrid 'classic'.

Telefonica offers spectrum for new German operator - report
2014-04-15 08:32:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telefonica has offered to sell spectrum and provide roaming to a new operator on the German market in order to secure regulatory approval for its proposed takeover of E-Plus. According to concessions it offered the European Commission, seen by the Financial Times, Telefonica would cede around 40 MHz of higher-frequency spectrum, suitable for covering up to 50 percent of urban areas. This is about a seventh of the frequencies held by the combined Telefonica Deutschland and E-Plus. For the rest of the country, Telefonica is also offering a roaming agreement on commercial terms, but with a cap of up to 10 percent of its network. The spectrum would also be leased, rather than given, to the new rival. If no expressions of interest are received by the end of this year, the offer lapses. The commission has asked rivals to comment on the proposal and whether it would be sufficient to maintain competition in Germany. Brussels is pushing for a more attractive package to entice a new operator, including potentially shedding customers and more spectrum. Alongside the concessions to make way for a fourth operator, Telefonica promised to provide space on its network at wholesale rates for up to three other MVNO. In addition, Telefonica has offered to sell 8,000 cell sites initially, with an additional 2,000 sites at a later date, as well as 50 shops to be selected by the group in urban areas.
