Liberty Puerto Rico’s primary competition for video customers is from DTH satellite providers DirecTV and DISH Network. Claro also provides video services in the market. DISH Network is an aggressive competitor, offering low introductory offers, free HD channels and, in its top tier packages, a free multi-room DVR service.

In order to compete, Liberty Puerto Rico focuses on offering video packages with attractive programming, including HD and Spanish language channels, plus a specialty video package of Spanish-only channels that has gained popularity.

Fixed-Line Telephony

The market for fixed-line telephony services is mature across our footprint. Changes in market share are driven by the combination of price and quality of services provided and the inclusion of telephony services in bundled offerings. In most of our C&W Caribbean markets, we are the incumbent telecommunications provider with long established customer relationships. In our other markets, our fixed-line telephony services compete against the incumbent telecommunications operator in the applicable market. In these markets, the incumbent operators have substantially more experience in providing fixed-line telephony, greater resources to devote to the provision of such services and long-standing customer relationships. In all of our markets, we also compete with VoIP operators offering services across broadband lines and OTT telephony providers, such as WhatsApp. In many countries, our businesses also face competition from other cable telephony providers, FTTH-based providers or other indirect access providers.
