(Telecompaper) Dutch regulator ACM has reached an agreement with KPN on improving the incumbent operator's compliance and oversight. The ACM found that KPN has made progress in improving its internal compliance and meeting its regulatory obligations, allowing the regulator to end its heightened surveillance of the operator from 01 July. The two signed a new Compliance Covenant, and as part of that KPN has agreed to drop its appeals against a number of sanctions imposed earlier by the ACM. This includes withdrawing its appeal against the EUR 29.7 million fine for the OT2010 government contract, making the fine definite. KPN said it welcomed the ACM's decision, which recognises its efforts to adhere to the law and regulations.
