Telefónica’s capex expectations for 2008 remain at the levels predicted at the beginning of the year, said Telefónica COO Linares, indicating the Group has no immediate intention of slowing its network rollout plans. Telefónica Latinoamérica has taken the largest share of the spend so far this year (and looks set to continue to do so), and comments from Latinoámerica Chief Executive Jose-Maria Alvarez-Pallete suggested roll out of 3G services could begin in earnest in the first quarter of 2009. Telefónica emphasised its cautious approach towards provision of content. The iPhone 3G was also launched in nine territories. [pp.5-7.]

Delivering valuable insight into the labyrinth that is Spain’s global telco giant. A unique monthly report for the industry.
SUMMARY
GROUP: Telefónica was cagey regarding the prospect of a formal bid to acquire pay-TV platform Digital+, with press reports indicating significant interest from other telecom and broadcasting giants, and widely varying opinions on the value of the business. Telefónica was also linked to a partnership with, or acquisition of, Telekom Austria, which would provide the company with access to fast-growing Central European markets. Separately, comments by Julio Linares, the company’s Chief Operating Officer, suggested the company was reconsidering its plan to sell part of call centre unit Atento. [pp.3,4.]
Telefónica’s capex expectations for 2008 remain at the levels predicted at the beginning of the year, said Telefónica COO Linares, indicating the Group has no immediate intention of slowing its network rollout plans. Telefónica Latinoamérica has taken the largest share of the spend so far this year (and looks set to continue to do so), and comments from Latinoámerica Chief Executive Jose-Maria Alvarez-Pallete suggested roll out of 3G services could begin in earnest in the first quarter of 2009. Telefónica emphasised its cautious approach towards provision of content. The iPhone 3G was also launched in nine territories. [pp.5-7.]
ESPAÑA: Telefónica said it is planning to launch broadband services over its new domestic fibre network at the end of October 2008, although controversy grew over the decision by telecoms regulator CMT to restrict competitor access to the network. The regulator was also the source of ire for rivals following a decision to require mobile operators to provide backdated contributions to the cost of universal service provision, which is delivered by Telefónica. There was further consternation, meanwhile, from consumer groups over the introduction of new charges for Telefónica fixed-line customers using caller ID services, while the government confirmed plans to crack down on exaggerated broadband speeds. [pp.8,9,11,12.]
Telefónica’s Spanish unit is reportedly taking steps to upsell its multi-play bundles to include its Imagenio IPTV service through new low-priced packages. It is apparently hoped that this could improve slowing growth of the pay-TV offering. Telefónica’s premium broadband customers in Spain are also to see maximum connection speeds doubled from 3Mbps to 6Mbps. [pp.9,10.]
Movistar España is trialling a new social-networking platform on its network. The application, which is said to provide a “bridge” between chat services, social networks, VoIP services, and mobile networks, has been developed by Finnish startup Concilio Networks. [p.10.]
LATINOAMÉRICA: Telefónica claimed to have hit its target of 150 million accesses in the Latin American market during July 2008, almost 18 months earlier than originally projected. This came as analysts continued to predict rapid growth in mobile penetration rates across the region. The telco announced a deal with digital entertainment company Buongiorno to target SMS competitions at subscribers in its Latin American territories. [pp.13,14.]
Telefónica in Argentina launched a new mobile music download promotion that enables customers to use two-dimensional ‘BiDi‘ barcodes found on promotional material to download music. The application is available free-of-charge to owners of some Motorola handsets. Telefónica Negocios, the SME-oriented unit in Argentina, partnered Dell to offer PCs and laptops as part of packages with telephony and broadband subscriptions. [pp.15,16.]
Brazilian telecoms regulator Anatel is considering the introduction of target-based quality standards for the country’s broadband services to boost reliability. The proposal was reportedly sparked by a 36-hour outage of Telefónica’s broadband network in June 2008. [p.15.]
Vivo’s market share dropped slightly again, apparently reversing its recent positive performance in terms of subscriber growth. Along with its four main rivals, Vivo is to be investigated, following allegations of pricing collusion for interconnection costs, which were levelled by some regional fixed-line operators. Reports of a more positive collaboration between the major mobile networks in Brazil could see the development and launch of an interoperable personal IM service nationwide that could be used by customers of all major operators. [pp.16,17.]
Telefónica made a $1bn offer for the shares it does not own in Telefónica CTC Chile. Movistar Chile took contrasting positions on recent government decisions on number portability and the introduction of 3G spectrum; praising the latter but appealing the former. The operator’s customers are expected to be able to use new mobile- and micro-payment solutions from service provider Mobile Solutions on the Fotolog photo-blogging and social-networking website. [pp.18,19,21.]
The Chilean government is thought to be in favour of liberalising the fixed-line telecoms market, which could see price controls eased for Telefónica. The country’s several regulatory authorities are said to be in dispute over the plans, however. Telefónica announced the launch of a pre-paid broadband service targeted at lower-income segments. [pp.19,20.]
Movistar Chile is to introduce new simplified tariffs to promote the uptake of mobile data services, as part of a bid to raise average revenue per customer. [pp.20.]
Telefónica El Salvador is to use Teledata Networks for the provision of NGN capabilities. Teledata is to work in partnership with Italtel on the project. [p.21.]
Movistar Mexico agreed a marketing deal with web browser developer Opera that will see the operator promote the Opera Mini mobile browser to customers. Yahoo!’s oneSearch mobile search tool was also launched on the Mexican Movistar network. [p.22.]
Movistar Peru iterated that it expects to spend around $232m in 2008 on network investment to boost services within its existing footprint and extend services to additional rural areas. Telefónica bought Peruvian cable-TV operator Star Global Com to boost its local pay-TV business. [p.23.]
EUROPE: While in many parts of Europe operators are cooling on the prospects for mobile television, in the Czech Republic, Telefónica O2 and rivals are teaming to acquire a licence to broadcast mobile TV services. TOCR is to cut the number of public payphones it provides. [pp.24,25.]
Internet to Go, a new mobile browser based on Opera Mini, was launched by O2 Germany. The browser is free to download and is hoped to boost data revenue. [p.25.]
In the UK, O2’s trials of near-field communications in conjunction with Transport for London and Barclaycard were said to have received a positive response from participants. Mobile ticketing is to be launched at the O2 Arena in London, following successful trials. O2 UK renewed its sponsorship of the England Rugby Football Union, and extended its support to include women’s rugby. It was also said to be one of the strongest mobile businesses in the world, in terms of building data revenue. [pp.26-29.]
A new mobile music store is to be launched by O2 UK and Sony BMG on the O2 Active platform. The My Play service is based on Momac’s GoMedia. Full-track downloads will cost £0.99 each. O2 UK won a three-year contract to provide insurer Homeserve with voice and mobile data services, as well as mobile solutions. [p.28.]
ASSOCIATES / INVESTMENTS: Telefónica undertook a convoluted process to increase its stake in the new Chinese mobile operator that will be formed by the merger of China Netcom and Unicom. The Spanish telco is to spend EUR800m on boosting its holding in the merged entity. The enlarged Chinese operator is also planning an ambitious expansion across the country when the merger goes through. [pp.31-33.]
Portugal Telecom’s first-half net income dropped by 41%, as the costs of restructuring were felt, although the fall was less than analysts expected. [p.34.]
New tariffs from Telecom Italia Mobile and Vodafone Italy are to be investigated by the regulator over possible collusion. TI lowered forecasts for the full year after reporting its first-half results, which showed a year-on-year decline of 24%. [pp.35-38.]
There were reports that Telefónica could acquire TI’s German fixed-line unit HanseNet to merge it with its existing Telefónica Deutschland operations, although a merger with Versatel appears more likely. Italian motorway operator Atlantia denied it was looking to acquire TI’s transmission towers, although asset sales were reported to be on the agenda for an upcoming board meeting. Nevertheless, the telco said it was interested in buying bits of internet provider Tiscali. [pp.36,37.]
EXTRACT
LATINOAMÉRICA:
Telefónica hits Latin America growth target early
Telefónica announced it had achieved its aim of 150 million subscribers in Latin America more than a year in advance, as well as touting the region’s potential to temper economic worries and maturity in its other markets.
The company appeared to pass the target — originally set for December 2009 — at some point during July 2008, having said in its first-half results that it had reached 147.9 million Latin American subscribers by the end of June 2008 (Telefónicawatch 2008.07). It added 10.2 million in the second quarter, including almost four million incorporated to the Group during April 2008 through Vivo‘s purchase of Telemig.
” Latin America, with growth rates above 8% until 2010, is the region of the world where the telecommunications sector is likely to grow the most in the medium term. ”
– Jose Maria Alvarez-Pallete, Executive Chairman, Telefónica Latinoamérica.
Speaking at an industry conference in Spain, Alvarez-Pallete trumpeted the fact that Latin America was now well established as Telefónica’s main growth driver, with the region currently providing around 75% of its new subscribers and over half (52%) of its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) increases.
At the same event, Julio Linares, Chief Operating Officer of Telefónica Group, claimed the region would continue to maintain its expansion during a tough economic period.
” Right now, not all the companies in the phone industry are performing in the same way. Now is when we are enjoying the most our diversification. ”
– Julio Linares.
Linares added that Telefónica had invested EUR83.2bn in Latin America between 1990 and 2007, and had earmarked an additional expenditure of EUR14bn to EUR16bn between 2007 and 2010, indicating a continued period of proportionately high capital investment in the region by the Group (see separate report).

LatAm 3G subscribers to hit 1.5 million by year end
According to Erasmo Rojas, Director of 3G Americas, a Latin America GSM association, the rollout of UMTS/HSDPA networks is rapidly boosting the rate of adoption of 3G services in Latin America; and the total number of 3G subscribers is tipped to reach 1.5 million by the end of 2008, from its current level of around one million.
“We currently have 25 commercial UMTS/HSDPA 3G networks in 14 countries across Latin America”, said Rojas, adding that a further five or six 3G networks are expected to be deployed by operators in the region during the second half of the year.
Jose Maria Alvarez-Pallete, Executive Chairman, Telefónica Latinoamérica, said the operator was planning to roll out 3G networks in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru in the first quarter of 2009 (although barriers remain in some of those markets, such as the fact that, as reported separately, 3G spectrum has yet to be auctioned in Chile).
[Further reference: Rapid rollout of 3G to boost number of subscribers -- Business News Americas, 14 August 2008; Telefónica Plans Lat Am Third Generation Rollout For 1Q 2009 -- Dow Jones, 2 September 2008.]
Telefónica to launch SMS competitions
Telefónica Latinoamérica signed an agreement with Italian digital entertainment company Buongiorno to deliver SMS-messaging based competitions in its regional territories.
The deal, which Buongiorno said was its largest in Latin America so far, will see it introducing its Superconcursos SMS contests in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela “over the next year”.
Buongiorno describes Superconcurso SMS as a game that allows operators to “profit from the immediateness and universal reach of mobile SMS messaging, offering subscribers a fun daily challenge where they can attempt to win prizes that can increase week after week as the competition goes on”. It said prizes of more than EUR10m would be offered to participants.
” The fact that Buongiorno is the first company to implement the Superconcurso SMS in the region’s countries represents a significant growth opportunity in emerging markets compensating for some slowing in Europe and the US. ”
– Andrea Casalini, Chief Executive, Buongiorno.
Buongiorno has been expanding its Latin American presence in the last year, with the purchase of Argentinean mobile entertainment provider By-Cycle in October 2007, and an earlier deal to provide Telecom Italia‘s mobile arm, TIM, with a mobile music store in Brazil. It said its Latin American revenue amounted to EUR9.2m in the first half of 2008.
The company said it secured the Telefónica Latinoamérica contract ahead of four rivals.
