Spain fines Telefonica for breaching DTS takeover terms
Fine or penalty
Spain's National Market and Communication Commission fined Telefonica €1.5 million for breaching the terms of its takeover of pay-TV platform DTS. The regulator said Telefonica failed to provide wholesale access to premium football content at a guaranteed minimum rate and wrongly calculated the subscriber count used for the minimum guaranteed cost of its Movistar Partidazo channel.
