Euskaltel, SA renders, manages, installs, operates, markets, and sells telecommunications networks and services; and markets and sells goods required to carry out these services northern Spain. Alberto Garcia Erauzkin talks to The Report Company about Euskaltel's rise to the top of the Basque telecoms industry, what makes the company unique, and its challenges for the future. We have three major players—Vodafone, Orange and Telefonica—but in northern Spain, there are also three smaller cable operators.
Unlike Euskaltel, Telecable currently offers its subscribers access to live Spanish football, due to its rights to distribute Mediapro's beIN La Liga channel. Therefore, there is a high customer churn specially for non-convergent services. As we know, 80 por ciento of our customers have mobile and fixed broadband, and 100 por cien of our customers have fixed voice.
Euskaltel launched its usage-based broadband service in July 2005 to give its customers the broadest choice of bandwidth and billing options. The Company is a parent of Jazztel Group, which comprises Jazz Telecom SAU, Jazzplat SA, Movilweb 21 SA, Banda veintiséis SA, Jazzplat Chile Ltda, Jazznet Jazztel Internet Services SL and Jazzcom Limited.
In the space of two years, Zegona has improved Telecable's revenue growth by 2 por ciento and cash flow margin by more than 3 por cien . The operator has also seen success in its bundling strategy, with postpaid consumer mobile lines increasing by 16,000 in 2016, as tres por cien of customers chose quad play packages.
This fact would allow the vasque company to compete in the virtual mobile operator segment. Euskaltel will be the first operator in Spain that will offer its customers the possibility of accessing Netflix with a single click. Regulatory approval for its sale of the cable operator to Euskaltel is expected in Q3 2017.
It is very common that customers, once their membership period has expired, collect several offers and choose the cheapest one.
