Telfort moves into fixed internet market (Netherlands)Dutch mobile operator Telfort is moving into the fixed internet market. The company will offer broadband at up to 20 Mbps for EUR 19.95 per month. Line rental and unlimited calls to fixed lines can be added for an additional EUR 9.95. In line with its mobile marketing, Telfort said it’s targeting price-conscious consumers with the internet offer. Citing a survey showing that some 94 percent of Dutch consumers find internet advertising misleading, Telfort said it aims to offer a simple service at a fixed price for 12 months, with no extra conditions or costs. Telfort is a subsidiary of Dutch fixed-line incumbent KPN. Subscribers to Telfort Internet will not require a KPN fixed-line susbcription. A spokeswoman confirmed to Telecompaper that KPN intends to merge its ADSL brands Speedlinq and Tiscali under the Telfort brand as well, but that the company is currently investigating possible effects on customers and systems of both ISPs and a final decision has not been made yet.
