KPN sees strong IPTV growth

Dutch telco KPN added 82,000 IPTV customers in the second quarter, giving it a 24% TV market share, up five percentage points year-on-year but flat quarter-on-quarter thanks to the continued decline of its digital-terrestrial base.

KPN now has 1.21 million IPTV customers, up 1.128 million in March, and 675,000 Digitenne digital-terrestrial and analogue TV customers, down from 717,000.

KPN’s new KPN Compleet quad-play offering had signed up 55,000 customers at the end of June, up from 29,000 in March.

KPN reported consumer residential revenues of €480 million for the quarter, up 5%, and EBITDA of €79 million, down 1.3%.
