Spain’s DTH market continues to contract, with the number of subscribers as of the end of the second quarter amounting to only 1.01 million.
This, according to the regulator CNMC, was down from the 1.40 million in the corresponding period in 2015.
The take-up of web TV is also proving to be disappointing, with the 190,000 figure in Q2 unchanged on 12 months earlier and down from 220,000 in both Q1 2016 and Q4 2015.
On the other hand, xDSL/FTTH shows strong growth, the figure of 3.21 million for Q2 contrasting with 2.37 million a year earlier.
Cable grew more modestly, up from 1.20 million to 1.45 million subscribers, over the same period.
