Few Dutch see Wi-Fi as replacement for data bundle
2014-10-06 17:08:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The increasing use of Wi-Fi does not seem to be radically driving down mobile internet use from the bundle, which indicates that although people use more outside Wi-Fi from their phone, they see Wi-Fi as an addition to their data bundle and not as a replacement, the latest report from Telecompaper showed. Four out ten Dutch people, who use mobile internet on their phones, saw internet consumption from their bundle go down and Wi-Fi use go up in the first six months of the year, according to data from the Telecompaper Consumer Panel and Telecompaper Dutch Mobile Tracker. This percentage has held steady from the year before while the number of people considering the reduction of their data bundle has even gone down. Around 6 percent of respondents who used less data from their bundle have in the past year lowered their mobile internet bundle, with 7 percent planning to take this step and a quarter considering it. An earlier Telecompaper study (February 2014) showed that 71 percent of all consumers sometimes use outside Wi-Fi, compared to 62 percent the year earlier. More men noticed how their use of Wi-Fi hotspots drove down their use of mobile data (43% of men vs 38% of women). In terms of age groups, more youth are opting for Wi-Fi as opposed to using up their data bundle.

Dutch less interested in pay-TV channels
2014-09-23 16:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Fewer Dutch consumers are interested in subscribing to pay-TV channels, according to research by the Telecompaper Consumer Panel. The number of households that already have subscriptions to channels such as HBO, Film1, Sport1, Fox Sports International or Fox Sport Eredivisie is relatively stable. Those who said they were (very) likely to subscribe to Fox Sports International or Fox Sports Eredivisie is stable at 2-3 percent. In June, 84 percent said they were (very) unlikely to subscriber Fox Sports International, compared to 82 percent six months earlier. Sport 1 saw a similar change, with only 2 percent likely to take subscription compared to 3 percent six months ago. The picture was the same for the film channels HBO and Film1. Three percent are already subscribed to HBO and 4 percent to Film1. Another 3 percent said they are (very) likely to subscribe to HBO and 2 percent to Film1. It's unclear how yet how much an impact the increasing number of OTT video options are having on the Dutch pay-TV market. According to the Telecompaper Consumer Panel, 7 percent of the Dutch had access to Netflix in the second quarter, while 3 percent used the service Pathe Thuis and 1 percent Videoland Unlimited.

Dutch triple-play providers improve customer satisfaction
2014-09-23 09:57:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) More than half of Dutch households (56%) were subscribed to three fixed services from one provider in Q2 2014. Four percent of those triple-play customers also had a mobile subscription from the same provider (quad-play), according to Triple Play Insights Q2 2014 report by Telecompaper. Overall, triple-play providers have a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of -6, up from -11 a year ago. The NPS measures what share of customers would recommend their provider to others. An improving score suggests more consumers are satisfied with their services. Ziggo and KPN score slightly higher than the market average, with NPS of 0 and -4 respectively, whereas UPC, Tele2 and Online.nl score below average (-13, -18 and -17).
