(Telecompaper) Vodafone Netherlands has reached an agreement for wholesale broadband access on KPN's fibre and copper networks for seven years. The announcement comes a week after KPN reached similar deals with Tele2 Netherlands and M7, owner of the ISP Online.nl. At the same time, KPN said that the regulator ACM has given its approval to the wholesale agreements, as the basis for KPN's reference offer. Vodafone said the agreement with KPN will provide the basis for turning the company from a mobile operator to a provider of a complete package of communication services. The company will be able to compete more efficiently on the broadband market as a result, Vodafone said.
