KPN loses court bid to extend Fox contract
2016-07-29 16:09:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) KPN has lost a lawsuit against Fox over their carriage deal. The court of first instance found that Fox does not have to extend the current deal under the same terms when it expires at the end of July. KPN had protested the new terms proposed by Fox, claiming they could violate competition law. Other operators, such as Tele2 and Caiway, have asked the competition regulator ACM to investigate the case, while Vodafone has accepted the new terms, which include adding one of Fox's premium sports channels to its basic TV package. The other operators are concerned that the new proposal would cost them more, while the biggest pay-TV provider in the Netherlands, Ziggo is not subject to the same terms with Fox, as its carriage contract is not up for renewal.

KPN to start testing Vplus in October in Haarlem, Rotterdam
2016-07-14 15:12:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) KPN announced plans to start testing in October Vplus technology supporting download speeds up to 400 Mbps over the copper network. The initial tests in Haarlem and Rotterdam will use one copper pair, allowing speeds of up to 200 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload. With two copper pairs, so-called pair bonding, the speeds can be doubled in future. To achieve the higher speeds, the amount of spectrum used will also increase, from 17 to 35 MHz. The faster speeds also depend on the customer's distance from the street cabinet; the closer the customer, the faster the connection. KPN expects that the current technology developments will make it possible in future to deliver 1 Gbps, using a combination of fibre and copper. The Dutch operator has already tested Vplus in the lab and at one address, and the next tests will take place across a residential neighbourhood.
