(Telecompaper) A small majority of Dutch consumers are interested in a family mobile plan, where each family member can use the same bundle of services, according to research by Telecompaper in June. Such plans are not yet available in the Netherlands, and the operators said last year that they had no plans to introduce them. Nevertheless, 58 percent of the Dutch say they're interested in a family plan. This is down from 65 percent a year ago. In last year's survey, almost a quarter (23%) of the Dutch said they were interested in a family plan if it ended up cheaper than the combined mobile costs of their household. This condition fell to 18 percent in the latest research. Beside cost issues, fewer people were concerned about getting a new phone under a family plan (from 10 to 5%). Maintaining the same phone number (16%) and the possibility of setting up spending limits for children (9%) saw the same level of response.
