(Telecompaper) The Dutch fixed telephony market showed a small increase of 0.1 percent in connections in the third quarter to end September of this year with 6.213 million lines. After three quarters of decline, the market returned to growth, thanks to more fibre and DSL customers taking fixed lines, according to Telecompaper's quarterly report about the Dutch fixed telephony market. Consumer VoIP connections increased 0.8 percent to 5.22 million, offsetting the 5.0 percent drop in PSTN/ISDN lines and 1.5 percent decrease in WLR connections. The retail revenues for the consumer fixed telephony market amounted to EUR 323 million in the third quarter, down almost 1 percent compared with the second quarter.
