Over the past year, the Spanish government and telecom regulator CMT have introduced a number of regulations designed to ensure fair competition and help overcome the "digital divide" in Spain. "Investments in fiber-optic networks will allow operators in Spain to attract high-end customers with better service quality and attractive multi-play offers," says Dr. Ewa Romaniuk-Calkowska, Analyst at Pyramid Research.

Driven primarily by increasing adoption of fiber, Pyramid expects broadband accounts to reach 14.5m by 2016, increasing at a CAGR of 4.8%. "Intensified competition among the four major fixed operators (Telefonica, Vodafone, Orange and ONO) will continue to drive growth in the broadband market," notes Romaniuk-Calkowska.
