Telefonica aiming for '100% fibre coverage' by 2024

2019-06-10 10:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Telefonica has announced plans to bring fibre-optic connections to the entire Spanish population, including all localities with less than 5,000 inhabitants, within the next 5 years. "Movistar plans to reach 100 percent of Spanish citizens in 2024," said the company in a blog post entitled "Internet for all, breaking the digital divide in rural areas". The company already has the largest FTTH network in Europe, reaching 21.8 million Spanish premises at the end of March, with its own retail fibre accesses up 13 percent year on year to over 4 million. It also recently announced plans to close over 1,200 ADSL exchanges that are no longer in use by 2024 due to the rapid expansion of its FTTH network.
