In the quarter, total pay TV subscribers rose by 337,000 to close in on the 5.4 million mark, driven once again mostly by growth in IPTV subscribers. Year-on-year, the market grew by 1.4 million subscribers, with Telefónica (Movistar TV) increasing its pay TV lead, adding 1.32 million in the same time frame. Orange also saw significant growth, overtaking Telecable and Euskatel.
