2016-06-30 14:47:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission has approved Italy's EUR 4 billion high-speed broadband plan, describing it as "in line with EU state aid rules". The announcement comes a month after Italian infrastructure firm Infratel launched the first tenders to bring fast internet access to digital divide areas in six regions, with more promised before summer. EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager said the plan "will help Italy to build the necessary infrastructure and contribute to creating a connected Digital Single Market in the EU". The country expects to minimise the use of state funds by encouraging bidders to use existing networks to the maximum extent possible, said the EC in a statement, adding that competition will be fostered by ensuring that the newly built infrastructure is open to all interested operators.

(Telecompaper) Dutch fixed telephony revenues decreased below EUR 300 million during the first quarter of 2016, according to Telecompaper's latest Dutch Fixed Telephony Market report. During the quarter fixed telephony revenues decreased by 4.6 percent to end March with EUR 287 million. The continued decrease in revenues is due to lower usage and lower prices and is ongoing since 2013. The number of fixed telephony connections decreased by 4,000 during the quarter, to end it with almost 6.3 million. The 0.6 percent growth in digital lines was not enough to off-set a five percent decrease in PSTN/ISDN lines.
