Hellas on Line, the primary fixed broadband competitor of OTE, the Greek incumbent, announced that it passed the 300,ooo subscribers mark. This figure refers to local loop unbundled connections. The figure is substantial and if you take into account the fast pace by which the company has been connecting customers the last year I am sure we are in for much more exciting developments from them.
HoL, as friends like to call it, has been in a strategic partnership with Vodafone for a few years already, so do not expect to see HoL’s brand on all of these 300,000 bills. No information is known about what portion of HoL’s LLU share comes from their wholesale business. Nevertheless, Vodafone and HoL (if you consider them close partners – why shouldn’t you) is the second largest all-in-one Telco in the country after the incumbent’s fixed and wireless business and before Tellas/Wind.
HoL has also announced that it will soon publish a detailed business report for 2009 (due before the end of the month).
