Bezeq Israeli Telecommunication

What Bezeq Israeli Telecommunication does

Bezeq Israeli Telecommunication Corp. Ltd. is Israel's largest telecommunications group, founded in 1984 as a state-owned telephone monopoly and now a publicly traded entity on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TLV:BEZQ). The group operates across fixed-line telephony, fiber and VDSL broadband, mobile (via subsidiary Pelephone), IPTV (via subsidiary yes), international/cloud services and submarine cable infrastructure (via Bezeq International TECH and the JONAH cable), and home electricity supply (Bezeq Energy). It serves both residential and business customers throughout Israel, with its fiber GPON network reaching approximately 2.8 million households as of 2025 (targeting ~2.9 million by year-end) and over 1 million fiber subscribers as of Q4 2025.

The company's core technology stack centers on GPON fiber-to-the-home with VDSL and NGN copper fallbacks, proprietary AI-integrated routers (Be, Be Fiber, Be Multi Fiber) supporting WiFi7 with embedded cybersecurity, and a mesh WiFi product line (Be Mesh, Mesh Fiber, Boost Fiber). It also operates a digital e-commerce/retail arm (Bezeq Store / BStore), a business directory service (B144), and an electricity supply operation with smart-meter-linked consumption analytics. Pelephone runs a standalone 5G network with over 1.2 million 5G subscribers, while the JONAH submarine cable carries roughly 35% of Israel's internet traffic.

Bezeq's business model is overwhelmingly subscription-based, with recurring monthly fees from internet/phone/energy services, router rentals, and premium support tiers, supplemented by hardware sales through BStore. Distribution combines self-serve online portals, inside sales via call centers and WhatsApp, and physical retail. The company reported core revenues of NIS 7.96 billion (3.0% YoY growth) and group revenues of approximately NIS 9 billion, while distributing NIS 975 million in dividends and buybacks. Customer segments are horizontal — primarily Israeli households plus SMB and enterprise connectivity buyers — with pricing tiers ranging from ~65 ILS/month for legacy VDSL to premium multi-gigabit fiber packages.
