The Spanish competition authority, CNMC, has reported that by the end of 2024, 90% of broadband lines in Spain were fiber-optic connections. This significant increase reflects a major trend in the telecommunications industry towards faster and more reliable internet services.

The rise in fiber-optic broadband is attributed to various factors, including increased consumer demand for high-speed internet and investments from telecommunications companies in infrastructure. The CNMC emphasizes the importance of maintaining competitive practices in the market to ensure that consumers benefit from these advancements.

As the market evolves, the CNMC continues to monitor and regulate the telecommunications sector to prevent anti-competitive practices and promote fair competition. This includes overseeing mergers and acquisitions, as well as addressing any potential abuses of dominant market positions.
