message: This article appears basically sound, but parts of it read like telegraphese translated from a Spanish original by someone not completely fluent in English, and the meaning is sometimes unclear in these places. Fact-checking and copyediting are needed for these portions of this article. -- The Anome 08:42, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The Ownership section states ownership by various companies persumably of the Telefónica company in terms of stock. While the figures are provided unreferenced, I do not dispute there correctness (atleast for now). However, the total for the three listed companies is less than 20%. For correctness shouldn't the remaining >80% be specified (even if specified as state owned or a lump grouping of stakeholders etc.)? Canderra 13:36, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Actually, Movistar is the brand name that Telefonica uses for its cellular operations in most of the countries. However, it is incorrect to consider that as the name of a subsidiary. The correct name should be Telefonica Moviles.
---------------
Telefónica Móviles is the Spanish movistar, (it's movistar, not Movistar), at the rest of the world it's subsidiary name is movistar.

message: Telefónica is a private company since a few years ago. Since 1997, the Spanish Gov. doesn't have any participation in that company... and Telefónica is the root company, there are too much companies of Telefónica like Telefónica de España (Spain's Telefónica), Telefónica de Alemania (Deutchland's Telefónica), etc.. so if it were (it isn't) public, it were only in Spain... and Telefónica isn't only in Spain...
"A principios de 1997 el Gobierno toma la decisión de vender el paquete de acciones que el Estado poseía aún en Telefónica y que equivalía al 20,9% del capital.
This says that starting 1997, the Spanish Gov, sold the 20,9% of Telefónica (all their participation).

thread_title:  Telefónica is not public!!! 

message: In spanish, we use "Pública" to mean owned by the state, you can't translate literally.  The article is correct, Telefónica is a public company in the sense that anyone can buy stock.  The correct terms are these:
Spanish         	English
Pública         	State / Government Owned
Privada         	Privately Owned
Sociedad Abierta	Public

message: This section is poorly written and highly POV. I think it should be removed from the article (commented out) and hacked at until a less libelous version is formulated. -Etafly 14:54, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The unfair practices described in the Wiki article about unnecessary delays or making it nearly impossible to transfer a mobile phone number to another company (Telefónica#Monopoly) are also common in Germany (O2 (brand)) with various sources being readily available in Germany, bringing Telefonica frequently into headlines of the German media and in conflict with German laws. 2A02:560:589D:800:78C2:3EBF:FC50:672E (talk) 03:44, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
