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

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
