Operator Source 4 Oct 2011Netherlands Broadband OverviewThe broadband market in the Netherlands is one of the most advanced broadband markets in Europe. Through an exceptional mix of aggressive regulation and public agreement on a local level to push broadband into the next century, the Netherlands is as ICT-ready as one can possibly be in the current broadband climate. KPN, the incumbent operator, made an early advance into the deployment of ADSL2+ in 2005, but then lost traction. Local initiatives filled the vacuum and initiated literally hundreds of small scale FTTH projects all over the Netherlands. The sum of all these small scale ventures is a push towards more bandwidth allowing broadband applications that are entertaining, but also address the social needs of an ageing society.
