(Telecompaper) The Dutch consumer fixed telephony market grew by 18,000 connections or 0.3 percent during the second quarter to 6.25 million lines, according to Telecompaper's quarterly Dutch Fixed Telephony Market report. Growth in VoIP lines of 1.6 percent during the quarter was enough to offset a 5.8 percent drop in PSTN/ISDN connections and 0.7 percent fewer WLR connections. Fibre VoIP reported the highest growth of 9 percent, followed by cable at 1.4 percent, while DSL VoIP connections only increased by 0.2 percent during the quarter. The revenues generated from consumer fixed telephony lines decreased by 2.9 percent in the second quarter to EUR 338 million. The fixed telephony market is expected to continue to grow, at a CAGR of 1.2 percent per year over the period 2013-2017, as growth in VoIP lines continues to outpace the decrease in PSTN/ISDN and WLR users.
