Spanish term or phrase: ha supuesto la creación de un operador alternativo
La constitución de XXXX ha supuesto la creación de un operador alternativo al operador principal del mercado español, capaz de presentar una oferta global de servicios de telecomunicaciones interactivos y de banda ancha integrada y adaptada a cada uno de los segmentos del mercado: telefonía móvil, telefonía fija por cable, radio/FO y acceso indirecto, TV por cable, servicios interactivos de banda ancha, servicios de datos y acceso a Internet desde móvil y servicios UMTS.

I'm having trouble wording this:
So far I have:

The incorporation of XXXX to the main operator in the Spanish market , capable of offering global interactive and integrated wide band telecommunications services adapted to each of the market segments: mobile telephones, fixed cable telephones, WLL wireless access, wide band interactive services, data services and Internet access from mobile telephones and UMTS services.

TIA!

ha supuesto la creación de un operador alternativo
has entailed the creation of an alternate operator


Explanation:
IMHO, neither the context nor the translation you propose is clear enough...

"Suponer" might mean "entail" or "involve."
