ACM opens fixed telephony draft decision for consultation
2014-12-29 10:03:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Dutch regulator ACM has opened consultation about a market decision centred on fixed telephony (VT2012). The draft has put together by the ACM after the Dutch corporate appeals court (CBb) overturned part of the 2012 decision covering fixed telephony. The new decision looks firstly into defining the retail market for dual calls and the wholesale market for dual call services, for the regulatory period from 1 May 2012 to 30 April 2015. ACM said research shows that VoB2 becomes a substitute for ISDN1/2. The draft also includes a dominance analysis of the market for single calls in the presence of wholesale regulation, for the same regulatory period. ACM said that KPN does not have a dominant position in this market. In the new draft, ACM comes to the same conclusions as it did for the original 2012 decision. The regulation will therefore not change for the upcoming period. The draft decision came out on 24 December and will be open for consultation until 4 February.

ACM maintains KPN wholesale broadband regulation
2014-10-31 08:35:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Dutch regulator ACM has decided to maintain wholesale access regulation on incumbent KPN's networks for another three years. Ziggo, which is merging with UPC to become a national cable operator, will not be subject to access regulation. By opening up KPN's networks to competing providers such as Vodafone and Tele2, consumers can save at least EUR 250 million a year, according to the ACM. KPN currently serves around 40 percent of Dutch broadband customers and Ziggo 44 percent. Two nationwide players is not enough to ensure competition, the ACM found. Alternative providers on KPN's DSL and FTTH providers ensure the market remains competitive. The ACM found that requiring resale or wholesale access on cable was technically difficult to realise, while the regulation of KPN's networks is a continuation of the existing situation. Market parties will have several weeks to comment on the ACM's proposed decision for ULL, after which it will be sent to the European Commission. The regulator aims for the decision to take effect in Q1 2015. At the same time as the regulatory decision, the ACM published its competition decision on KPN's plan to increase its stake in Reggefiber. KPN is allowed to buy another 9 percent in the FTTH operator, giving it management control with a total 60 percent in Reggefiber. As the FTTH network is covered by the existing regulation of KPN, no additional conditions were applied to the acquisition.
