KPN, Vodafone drop plans for network sharing
2013-12-27 19:36:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Dutch operators KPN and Vodafone have decided to not pursue a network-sharing agreement. The two companies said the pilot to share antenna sites started in September 2012 would not be continued. No further details were given, apart from saying it was not the opportune moment to develop the venture further. The operators said they remain open to future initiatives to reduce network costs. The Dutch telecom and radio spectrum regulators were informed of the decision. The companies had made no further mention of the agreement since the signing in 2012. The third mobile operator, T-Mobile recently signed a network-sharing agreement with Tele2 Netherlands, which is preparing to launch its own network after acquiring spectrum rights a year ago.
