Yoigo (previously known as Xfera) is the name of the fourth mobile phone operator of Spain. They will operate a UMTS network. After several technology and market problems in 2001, in December 2003 the Board of Directors, supported by the shareholders decided to make an additional investement of €135 million, and to open negotiations with Vodafone to allow use of their network where Xfera don't have coverage.
Its main shareholders were ACS, Alba and Abertis. In June 2006 TeliaSonera, a minority holder of Xfera, acquired almost 80pc of Xfera's shares and stated that Xfera would start building its UMTS network and start offering mobile services later in 2006. [1]
On October 2006, Xfera announced the launch of the commercial service in December under its new brand Yoigo[2].
The logo also bears some resemblance to the style of 3, which also has no set colour set, and changes colours between uses.
