The Dutch incumbent KPN has published the new and improved offer for access to its fibre networks for wholesale providers.
In a statement, it says the improved offer will be effective immediately as the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) declared KPN’s commitments binding. In the coming years, the CPI-adjustment to wholesale providers will be capped. The new offer applies for a period of eight years on existing and new fibre networks, creating long-term certainty to providers that want to offer services over KPN’s network. This enables superfast internet access via fibre for more Dutch households.
Commenting on the development, Chris Figee, member of KPN’s Board of Management, CFO and responsible for Wholesale, said: “KPN took the initiative to significantly improve the terms of its wholesale offer. Following the market consultation, we have further improved our offer, such as a cap on the pass through of inflation to wholesale providers and access conditions for smaller providers. The offer is effective immediately and will be applicable for a period of eight years. This enables us to continue the roll out of fiber and our successful open network policy, and makes fibre accessible to more Dutch households.”
