Spain starts accepting shared iPoker license applications
After announcing an online poker liquidity agreement over the summer, the Spanish regulator has announced that a new window of opportunity has opened up for operators to apply for online gambling licenses in the country.
According to a press release from ARJEL -- the French Autorité de régulation des jeux en ligne -- tables will be shared by players from France and Spain as soon as next week.
From a report on OnlinePoker.net:

Sacha Michaud, President of Jdigital, explains:
“In this new window of licensing, we estimate that approximately 10 new operators will join in addition to the 52 that already exist in the Spanish market.”
Furthermore, the process has been extended for a year in order to enable more companies to enter the sector, which according to Jdigital should generate an additional €20 million over the period. Amongst the many companies that will now be lining up to apply for a license will be Winamax, with the operator eager to extend its poker product to Spain in order to compliment the ones it already holds in both France and Italy.
