MasOrange, Vodafone Spain partner with GIC to launch Spanish fibre optic venture

The infrastructure aims to develop Spain’s connectivity and digitalisation further.

MasOrange, Vodafone Spain and GIC have signed an agreement to create an innovative fibre optic company (FibreCo) in Spain.

This infrastructure aims to further develop Spain’s connectivity and digitalisation, provide a Fibre to the Home (FTTH) network, enable operational efficiencies, and create the base for continued improvements.

MasOrange and Vodafone Spain will contribute approximately 12 million premises and 5 million customers to the new joint fibre network company.

The new FibreCo also meets high ESG standards by utilising energy-efficient FTTH technology designed to reduce energy consumption.

As part of the transaction, MasOrange will purchase Conexus Networks, the wholesale FTTH access provider in the north of Spain, and contribute it to FibreCo.

The proposed transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close by the fourth quarter of the year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
