Tuenti
Tuenti is a Spain-based, invitation-only private social networking website that has been referred to as the “Spanish Facebook.” Tuenti, pronounced in Spanish, sounds like Twenty in English. The name, however, actually comes from “tu enti[dad],” meaning “your entity.” The site is targeted at the Spanish audience, and is currently accessible only to those who have been invited. Tuenti features many tools common to social-networking sites. It allows users to set up a profile, upload photos, link videos and connect with friends, recently a chat application has been added. Many other utilities, such as the ability to create events, are also offered. Unlike similar social networking sites which feature banner advertisements, Tuenti has opted out of these traditional forms of “noisy” and obstructive advertising. Now Google Zeitgeist‘s 2009 listed the Tuenti as in Third fastest-rising global search. Google’s 2008 Zeitgeist report listed Tuenti as the year’s fourth fastest-rising global search term, and Alexa Internet ranks the site as the sixth most visited in Spain. It is currently estimated that there are more 9,2 million users, making it the country’s most popular social network. Zaryn Dentzel, one of its founders, stated that they intend to focus on Spanish users more before possibly expanding to other countries. The site targets users in specific regions to improve its click-through rates, which have reached as high as 40%. In 2010 Telefonica purchased Tuenti and launched an MVNO Division.

Spain Telecommunications Market Expand
In a virtually saturated mobile market, the mobile sector continues to experience subscriber losses in the last quarters, as operators continued to discount inactive SIMs. While the market will touch down to its minimum in 2010 — shrinking another 3% — the beneficial effect of the increasing number of subscribers with 3G-enabled handsets should be visible from 2011, where the total market value is expected to increase again slightly (+1%). InfoCom revised its forecasts to the year 2015 as 3G connections were around 47% at end 1Q10.
Mobile broadband connections were just less than 2mn at the end of 1Q10, about 3.5% of the total subscriber base. The mobile broadband market in Spain develops slowly compared to the European average, where 3G datacards and USB modems penetration per household is at over 13%, growing over 5% YoY, against a Spanish penetration of about 11%, slugging growing at about 3% YoY. In Spain, driving up ARPUs through mobile broadband and mobile data services usage could result in a mounting effort as economic factors will continue to play a relevant role, holding back users from upgrading to more expensive mobile services. In the meantime, Spain’s Industry ministry has revealed plans to expand the access to broadband mobile networks through the distribution of additional frequencies to mobile Internet providers. The move will allow more spectrum for mobile Internet applications and support growth for laptop data cards and smartphones that use “higher margin” applications like mapping services, music and video.
While the fixed Internet market, driven by broadband, is showing growth rates of over 5% on 2009; and the datacom market is expected to be slightly growing at just above 2% (YoY), fixed telephony is incessantly falling, losing 4% in 2010 (YoY). While the fixed line market will continue to struggle, InfoCom believes that the decline will decelerate slightly as operators develop successful bundle strategies to promote broadband services through fixed networks. In particular, alternative operators have benefitted most from this strategy, luring subscribers away from incumbent Telefónica, which has “lost” over 1 million fixed lines, about 8% of its total access line base (1Q10, Y0Y).
