FMC in Spain – six takeaways five years on

Access this insight with a Premium plan. Contact our sales team to get started.
Spain, France and Portugal were the first markets in the world to fully embrace fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) of services. Today, FMC is the norm for consumers and a strategic pillar for the major operators in those markets. Other European countries have launched FMC in recent years, but adoption rates have been slower. Wave two of FMC has not been as strong as wave one.
A few weeks ago, regulator CNMC published Q4 2017 data for the fixed, mobile and pay-TV markets in Spain, including FMC. We took this as an opportunity to review the development of the market five years on from the launch of early FMC offerings, and the learnings for those operators around the world looking at how FMC changes market and competitive dynamics.

This report examines the major shifts reshaping fixed broadband, combining market analysis with a detailed review of operator propositions across eight countries. Growth dynamics are evolving, with mature markets approaching saturation and customer loyalty becoming harder to secure. Fibre continues to consolidate its position as the most important access technology, driven by ongoing migration from legacy networks and widening coverage through greenfield deployments. 5G FWA is also gaining traction, particularly where fixed deployment is constrained or too costly, and is increasingly being used for temporary, secondary or back-up connectivity.
