TRADE CAPACITY IN ANDALUSIA

If finally approved, the purchase will increase Voztelecom's commercial capacity in Andalusia, one of the geographic areas with the highest growth potential.

Its current low penetration in this autonomous community is a fact, compared to Madrid and Catalonia. There, its commercial capillarity is greater as it has concentrated its commercial activity since its beginnings.

• Expanding its competencies to address the segment of the contact-center.
