KPN wants to reduce the rent it charges competing telecom providers for the use of its fiber optic network by 10 to 30 percent.The ACM previously saw competition risks due to the high rent, but now speaks of 'a meaningful step'.KPN proposes to use a national rate for its ODF offer that is 10 percent lower: from 18.56 euros to 16.56 euros per line.ODF stands for optical distribution frame and providers only rent the fiber optic part of the street cabinet to the KPN subscriber.In addition, KPN proposes to lower the vula rates by 10 to 30 percent.The actual prices then depend, among other things, on the speed that providers choose.Vula is the abbreviation of virtual unbundled access to fiber-to-the-home for pon fiber, where a fiber is shared with multiple addresses.The competitors themselves determine the level of service to customers.The offer from KPN and Glaspoort would be valid for a period of eight years after approval.KPN and Glaspoort have asked the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets to declare the proposals binding.The competition authority is considering doing this and speaks of a significant step for the telecom market.Glaspoort is a joint venture for fiber optic activities of KPN and pension provider APG.ACM is yet to make a final decision and, in the meantime, is holding on to all investigations into access to the networks of KPN and Glaspoort.ACM started a market analysis study last year, after it saw the risk that competition with KPN could be hindered by the rates and conditions that the company applied.This concerns KPN's offer to providers that do not have their own network and wish to use the networks of KPN and Glaspoort to provide internet, television and telephony services to a large number of customers.The plans of KPN, T-Mobile and DeltaProject / Event manager Tweakers & AutoweekShare your skills for your dream job Apply now![Comment edited by Houtenklaas on April 1, 2022 19:25][Comment edited by _Dune_ on Apr 2, 2022 11:59][Comment edited by little boy on April 1, 2022 22:04][Comment edited by DJMaze on April 1, 2022 13:44][Comment edited by DaanHetEendje on April 2, 2022 09:31][Comment edited by DeComponeur on April 1, 2022 13:19][Comment edited by Calypso on Apr 1, 2022 13:38][Comment edited by ATS on April 1, 2022 11:14][Comment edited by Houtenklaas on April 1, 2022 20:17][Comment edited by slb on April 19, 2022 22:10][Comment edited by D0phoofd on April 1, 2022 12:56][Comment edited by Houtenklaas on April 1, 2022 20:03][Comment edited by Mik33 on April 1, 2022 16:42][Comment edited by kraken modem on April 2, 2022 09:37][Comment edited by DIKKEHENK on April 1, 2022 11:03][Comment edited by Bruin Poeper on April 1, 2022 16:31][Comment edited by Houtenklaas on April 1, 2022 20:40][Comment edited by neographikal on Apr 1, 2022 13:09][Comment edited by Sendak239 on Apr 1, 2022 12:13 PM][Comment edited by .oisyn on Apr 1, 2022 11:08][Comment edited by .oisyn on Apr 1, 2022 11:16][Comment edited by The Zep Man on Apr 1, 2022 11:11][Comment edited by no_way_today on April 1, 2022 11:06]This item can not be responded to.Nintendo Switch (OLED model) Apple iPhone SE (2022) LG G1 Google Pixel 6 Call of Duty: Vanguard Samsung Galaxy S22 Garmin fēnix 7 Nintendo Switch LiteTweakers together with Hardware Info, AutoTrack, Gasmetaal.nl, Nationale Vacaturebank, Intermediair and Independer forms DPG Online Services BV All rights reserved © 1998 - 2022 • Hosting by True
