Our net churn (b<strong>as</strong>ed <strong>on</strong> the l<strong>as</strong>t quarter <strong>of</strong> each period) for our residential fiber business incre<strong>as</strong>ed from 13.9% in 2009,<br />

to 15.5% in 2010 <strong>and</strong> to 18.8% in 2011. This incre<strong>as</strong>e w<strong>as</strong> primarily driven by some customers dropping their telecommunicati<strong>on</strong><br />

services to preserve their disposable incomes, al<strong>on</strong>g with the incre<strong>as</strong>ed promoti<strong>on</strong>al activity experienced in the Spanish<br />

telecommunicati<strong>on</strong> market that h<strong>as</strong> impacted a porti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> our most price sensitive customers (mainly single play customers).<br />

Going forward we intend to c<strong>on</strong>tinue focusing <strong>on</strong> stabilizing net churn with the implementati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> initiatives to<br />

promote customer loyalty (such <strong>as</strong> our recently launched 15 Mbps upgrade campaign), the development <strong>of</strong> better products (such<br />

<strong>as</strong> DOSCIS 3.0, TIVO, mobile), improved customer care, customer segmentati<strong>on</strong> tools <strong>and</strong> tactical promoti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

Broadb<strong>and</strong> Internet: In 2011, broadb<strong>and</strong> internet customers incre<strong>as</strong>ed by 49 thous<strong>and</strong>, or 3.6%, to 1,429 thous<strong>and</strong> <strong>as</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>December</strong> <strong>31</strong>, 2011. Broadb<strong>and</strong> internet customers <strong>as</strong> a proporti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> total residential fiber customers incre<strong>as</strong>ed by 2.9<br />

percentage points to 79.1% in 2011. Our residential broadb<strong>and</strong> internet penetrati<strong>on</strong> incre<strong>as</strong>ed to 20.3% at the end <strong>of</strong> 2011 from<br />

19.6% at the end <strong>of</strong> 2010. The incre<strong>as</strong>e w<strong>as</strong> a result <strong>of</strong> our efforts to acquire customers with this service combined with teleph<strong>on</strong>y<br />

or <strong>on</strong> a triple-play b<strong>as</strong>is <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> our focus in high-speed interent <strong>of</strong>ferings. As <strong>of</strong> <strong>December</strong> <strong>31</strong>, 2011, over 424 thous<strong>and</strong><br />

customers subscribed to our high-speed internet packages (30, 50 or 100 Mbps), which represents approximately 30% <strong>of</strong> our<br />

broadb<strong>and</strong> customer b<strong>as</strong>e. We believe these excellent commercial results positi<strong>on</strong> <strong>ONO</strong> <strong>as</strong> the market leader in high-speed<br />

Internet in Spain. In February 2012, we completed the deployment <strong>of</strong> DOCSIS 3.0 technology in the Canary Isl<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> currently<br />

we have the capacity to deliver high-speed Internet <strong>of</strong> up to 100 Mbps to over 7 milli<strong>on</strong> homes within our network coverage are<strong>as</strong>,<br />

representing our entire fiber customer b<strong>as</strong>e.<br />

In 2010, broadb<strong>and</strong> internet customers incre<strong>as</strong>ed by 54 thous<strong>and</strong>, or 4.1%, to 1,380 thous<strong>and</strong> <strong>as</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>December</strong> <strong>31</strong>, 2010.<br />

Broadb<strong>and</strong> internet customers <strong>as</strong> a proporti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> total residential fiber customers incre<strong>as</strong>ed by 3.6 percentage points to 76.2% in<br />

2010. Our residential broadb<strong>and</strong> internet penetrati<strong>on</strong> incre<strong>as</strong>ed to 19.6% at the end <strong>of</strong> 2010 from 18.9% at the end <strong>of</strong> 2009.<br />

Televisi<strong>on</strong>: In 2011, fiber televisi<strong>on</strong> customers decre<strong>as</strong>ed by <strong>31</strong> thous<strong>and</strong>, or 3.2%, to 923 thous<strong>and</strong> <strong>as</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>December</strong><br />

<strong>31</strong>, 2011. Fiber televisi<strong>on</strong> customers <strong>as</strong> a proporti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> total residential fiber customers decre<strong>as</strong>ed by 1.6 percentage points in 2011<br />

to 51.1% <strong>as</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>December</strong> <strong>31</strong>, 2011. The penetrati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> fiber televisi<strong>on</strong> services decre<strong>as</strong>ed by 0.5 percentage point to 13.1% at the<br />

end <strong>of</strong> 2011. The decre<strong>as</strong>e in televisi<strong>on</strong> customers w<strong>as</strong> mainly derived from the negative macroec<strong>on</strong>omic envir<strong>on</strong>ment uder<br />

whiche we have operated in that h<strong>as</strong> forced our most price sensitive customers to drop the televisi<strong>on</strong> service to preserve their<br />

disposable incomes.<br />

In October 2011, we <strong>of</strong>ficially launched, our next generati<strong>on</strong> TV service (TIVO) to customers within Madrid <strong>and</strong><br />

Barcel<strong>on</strong>a <strong>and</strong> in February 2012 we made this service available in Valencia, Sant<strong>and</strong>er <strong>and</strong> Murcia (these regi<strong>on</strong>s represent c.37%<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Pay TV market in Spain). We expect to further extend this innovative TV service to other regi<strong>on</strong>s within our network<br />

coverage are<strong>as</strong> in the coming quarters. As <strong>of</strong> <strong>December</strong> 2011 almost 8 thous<strong>and</strong> customers subscribed to this unique TV product<br />

what represents c.4% <strong>of</strong> our TV customer b<strong>as</strong>e in Madrid <strong>and</strong> Barcel<strong>on</strong>a. Although to date this product h<strong>as</strong> <strong>on</strong>ly been launched <strong>on</strong><br />

a limited b<strong>as</strong>is, we believe that there are early signs <strong>of</strong> positive market acceptance. We expect that this new TV product will help<br />

us to provide our customers with a best in cl<strong>as</strong>s experience <strong>and</strong> a wide variety <strong>of</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tent that integrates broadc<strong>as</strong>t <strong>and</strong> broadb<strong>and</strong><br />

televisi<strong>on</strong> in a way that goes bey<strong>on</strong>d traditi<strong>on</strong>al pay televisi<strong>on</strong> features. We believe these unique functi<strong>on</strong>alities will help us to<br />

incre<strong>as</strong>e the number <strong>of</strong> our TV customers <strong>and</strong> revenues going forward.<br />

In 2010, fiber televisi<strong>on</strong> customers decre<strong>as</strong>ed by 22 thous<strong>and</strong>, or 2.2%, to 953 thous<strong>and</strong> <strong>as</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>December</strong> <strong>31</strong>, 2010. Fiber<br />

televisi<strong>on</strong> customers <strong>as</strong> a proporti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> total residential fiber customers decre<strong>as</strong>ed by 0.8 percentage points in 2010 to 52.7% <strong>as</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>December</strong> <strong>31</strong>, 2010. The penetrati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> fiber televisi<strong>on</strong> services decre<strong>as</strong>ed by 0.4 percentage point to 13.6% at the end <strong>of</strong> 2010<br />

from 13.9% at the end <strong>of</strong> 2009. During 2010, the decre<strong>as</strong>e in televisi<strong>on</strong> customers w<strong>as</strong> mainly due to the fact that we ce<strong>as</strong>ed<br />

<strong>of</strong>fering this product <strong>on</strong> a st<strong>and</strong>-al<strong>on</strong>e b<strong>as</strong>is <strong>and</strong> focused <strong>on</strong> acquiring customers with teleph<strong>on</strong>y <strong>and</strong> broadb<strong>and</strong> bundles, which<br />

enjoy lower net churn rates, <strong>and</strong> a disc<strong>on</strong>tinuati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> promoti<strong>on</strong>s relating to “TV Esencial”, a low-cost televisi<strong>on</strong> package.<br />

Teleph<strong>on</strong>y: In 2011, the number <strong>of</strong> teleph<strong>on</strong>y customers incre<strong>as</strong>ed by 22 thous<strong>and</strong>, or 1.3% to 1,708 thous<strong>and</strong> <strong>as</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>December</strong> <strong>31</strong>, 2011. Teleph<strong>on</strong>y customers <strong>as</strong> a proporti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> total residential fiber customers incre<strong>as</strong>ed by 1.5 percentage points to<br />

94.6% at the end <strong>of</strong> 2011. This incre<strong>as</strong>e w<strong>as</strong> primarily due to our efforts to acquire customers taking bundles with teleph<strong>on</strong>y <strong>and</strong><br />

the lower net churn experienced in customers taking this service. This service is showing resistance to the decre<strong>as</strong>e in the<br />

customer b<strong>as</strong>e <strong>and</strong> minutes <strong>of</strong> use, remaining str<strong>on</strong>g in terms <strong>of</strong> nati<strong>on</strong>al fixed-to-fixed calls; although fixed-to-mobile <strong>and</strong><br />

internati<strong>on</strong>al call volumes remain weak.<br />
