Municipal telecoms operator UNE EPM has announced that it reached over 800,000 pay-TV subscribers in 2009, up 53.3% year-on-year. The operator, alongside direct-to-home (DTH) operator DirecTV, saw exceptionally fast growth in Colombia's pay-TV market, accounting for 25.1% and 7.8% of the market respectively. UNE's growth has been the result of the acquisition of satellite operator Visión Satélite in May 2009 and its IPTV services.
