Spanish broadband rumors: Telefonica to launch 50 mb/s?

A rumor started here, and talked about here, has Telefonica employees currently undergoing training for the imminent rollout of a 50 mb/s broadband product in Spain.

If true, then this would certainly put the heat on all the just-launched (and still yet-to-be-launched!) ADSL2+ players in Spain.

UPDATE: Looks to be sort-of true. The excellent ADSLZone uncovers the plans:
- regulatory approval given for Telefonica to offer 24 mb/s ADSL2+ in 2006
- this apparently includes a plan to move to 50 mb/s VDSL2 also in the same year, but with limited availability (sounds like just Madrid, for now)

Curious to know the pricing…

Currencies are moving around a lot. The euro conversion to bahts is one that I'm watching since that's where I plan to go on holiday this summer! A place to check this is betacoin, or their page that has a euro conversion calculator.
