Altice Portugal

SIC required the services of TDP, but TVI decided to create its own transmitter Network (RETI), RTP's monopoly shaken after 35 years.

In November 2007, Portugal Telecom spun off its media assets (PT Multimédia), that included TV Cabo and Lusomundo Cinemas, and it changed its name to ZON Multimedia (later by NOS since 2014).

The 500 golden shares with extended voting rights, allowing it to block potential takeover bids, were the reason for the commission's legal action.

Henrique Granadeiro (was previously manager of PT Portugal) was elected president of telecommunications between 2003 and 2008, when she was replaced by Zeinal Bava on March 31, 2008, which went to the board of directors.

[16] Its operating brands include MEO, a quadruple play service provider and SAPO, an ISP and producer of web content.

This tower is responsible for receiving TV signals from RTP, SIC and TVI and distributing them to the other Broadcasting Centers scattered throughout the national territory.

PT agreed to acquire 22.4% of Telemar Norte Leste (Oi), the country's largest telecommunications firm, in July 2010.

[17] Separately it also had 29% of UOL, a major Brazil-based ISP and online service provider; and was the sole owner of Dedic, a call centre operator.

[19] In September 2017, Portugal Telecom at the APDC session (precisely with NOS, Vodafone and RTP) complained about the fights with Media Captial in the purchase of TVI with Altice.

The operators, Miguel Almeida from NOS, Claudia from PT Portugal and Mário Vaz from Vodafone made your dominant position between Altice and Media Capital.

[20] In October 2014, the CEO PT, Armando Almeida innovated in the application of MEO Music in the global sector of apps developed by the company.

[22] In November 2019, Altice will change the frequencies of the terrestrial television pilot to 500 MHz for Portugal based on the Anacom source proposal.

As of 15 November 2011 its major stockholders were Espírito Santo Financial Group (11.30%), RS Holding (10.05%), Capital Research and Management (9.97%), Oi;k (7.00%), Caixa Geral de Depósitos (6.23%), Brandes Investment Partners (5.24%) and Norges Bank (5.01%).

[27] The golden shares were the subject of a long running dispute between the government and the European Commission, which alleged that their existence was illegal under EU law.

A case brought before the European Court of Justice by the commission to force the government to cede its shares resulted in the announcement of their abolition in July 2011.

[29] Since 2 June 2015 it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Altice, a multinational cable and telecommunications company with a presence in France, Israel, Belgium & Luxembourg, Portugal, French West Indies/Indian Ocean Area and Dominican Republic (“Overseas Territories”) and Switzerland.
