Telefónica had 2.5 million TV customers in Spain at the end of September, up 275,000 quarter-on-quarter and up 1.6 million compared with the same period last year.
The company’s Movistar Fusión bundled offering had four million customers at the end of the period, accounting for close to 90% of gross additions for the period. The offering accounted for over half of new Movistar customers in the period. Some 58% of Movistar Fusión customers take pay TV, including 120,000 satellite TV customers.
