Movistar to expand for FTTH service

Spanish fixed line incumbent Telefonica de Espana, which offers it services under the Movistar banner, plans to enhance and expand its fiber-optic network deployment this year in four cities, ADSL Zone reported.

The telecom outlined its commitment to its fiber rollout, saying it expects to bolster coverage of its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services, which cover around 1.5 million households, to more than 2 million, and possibly well beyond.

Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia are three of the four cities in which Movistar expects to carry out the network expansion.
