Movistar (Template:IPA-es) is a major telecommunications brand owned by Telefónica, operating in Spain and in many Hispanic American countries.[1] It is the largest mobile phone operator in Spain with 22 million customers and 41.58% of market share, where it also markets landline, broadband and pay television (Movistar+).[2] Its principal competitor in Latin America is América Móvil.

History

The Movistar brand has been in use in Spain since the launch of GSM services in 1995. The name became effective worldwide on April 5, 2005, after Telefónica purchased the BellSouth mobile operations branch in South America. After the purchase of O2 in 2005 by Telefónica, the company announced that the O2 brand would continue to be used in the UK, Germany and Ireland (Rep.), as a separate branch with its own board and management structure.

Since 2011, Telefónica has sponsored a UCI ProTeam squad in cycling under the name of You have called {{Contentious topics}}. You probably meant to call one of these templates instead:
