(Telecompaper) M7 Group aims to become the biggest challenger to KPN and UPC/Ziggo on the Dutch triple-play market, according to Bjorn Jeurissen, VP responsible for the Dutch activities. M7's pay-TV provider CanalDigitaal recently acquired broadband provider Online.nl from T-Mobile and expanded its triple-play offering to fibre networks. The combination of content from CanalDigitaal on the IPTV platform and internet and telephony from Online.nl should help the company become the most significant alternative to "the broad but expensive offering from KPN and UPC/Ziggo and the cheap but smaller triple-play offer from Tele2", Jeurissen said in an interview with Telecompaper. The company is starting a new phase of development, after completing its interactive TV platform, to market its triple-play offer across the country. In the third phase, running parallel to the second, it plans to add more functions and content to the IPTV platform. M7 is also focusing on service, including customer retention.
