The company was operating without its own landline network, and users of Telefónica that were Retevision subscribers needed to prepend the prefix 050, which was later replaced by 1050, to the number in order to route calls to Retevisión.
That same year, Retevisión bought two pioneering Spanish internet service providers Servicom and RedesTB, and launched their own ISP under the brand iddeo.
In June 1998 the company obtained Spain's third license for mobile telephony (after Movistar and Airtel Móviles), and began operations in 1999 under the brand name Amena through its subsidiary Retevisión Móvil.
In 2006, France Télécom acquired the mobile telephony operations of Amena, which led to the creation of Orange España on 1 August that same year.
[1][2] Retevisión's remaining audiovisual-related portfolio was then sold by Grupo Auna to Abertis in 2003, which subsequently spun off that particular business into a new company called Cellnex Telecom in 2015.
