Key Data:

- The mobile market contracted by 6.4% y-o-y in Q213, reaching 49.998mn. This was the result of the squeeze on consumer spending and inactive subscription discounting by market leader Movistar and second-ranked Vodafone.
- The disconnection of active subscribers has helped maintain APRU rates this quarter, but we forecast that these will continue to fall during the course of the year because of costumers' heightened price sensitivity of consumers and the implementation of mobile termination rate cuts.
- Dedicated mobile broadband subscriptions saw the largest declines, according to the latest data available from the CMT, down 26.4% in Q113 to 2.884mn.
