The Dutch incumbent telecom operator KPN has said it reached 700,000 digital television customers at the end of September, a further growth of 64,000 new subscribers. This represents a 21% market share of all digital TV households in the country.
KPN has two digital TV products on the Dutch market, the budget DTT service Digitenne, which retails at €7.50 a month, and the IPTV product KPN Interactieve TV, which starts at €9.95 but requires a broadband DSL connnection.
Although KPN does not issue any details about the number of subscribers for each of the two services, Broadband TV News estimates KPN has 30,000 IPTV and 670,000 DTT homes.
