From the Telefonica.com website
Telefonica, S.A. is Spain's largest telecommunication's company. It is also a multinational which operates in Argentina, Brasil, Chile, El Salvador, España, Guatemala, México and Perú. This company was once a public company. It has been privatized and one now of Europe's largest communications companies. It owns Terra Lycos, one of the largest ISPs and portals today.
If I may add Spain has one of the highest rates of mobile phone charges in Western Europe. I do not know if this is true until today because the feature on Deutsch Welle TV was a year ago.
