The Dutch market for corporate telecom services generated a turnover of 575 million euros in the third quarter of 2018. This is a decrease of 6.4 percent compared to the same quarter a year earlier. This is evident from Telecompaper’s quarterly report on the market for corporate telecommunications.
The report looks at mobile and fixed telephony, and mobile and fixed broadband and data. According to the study, the decrease in revenue was mainly caused by lower revenues from mobile and fixed telephony and mobile broadband and data networks. The turnover of business fixed broadband is growing. Compared to the year-on-year figures of the third quarter, the decrease levelled off from -8.4 percent to -6.4 percent.
The report divides mobile into mobile (voice and data) and mobile data-only. Data-only sales increased by almost one percent compared to the previous year to 42 million euro. Fixed broadband increased by 4.9 percent to 75 million euro. However, mobile sales fell by 8.4 percent to 255 million euro. This decrease is mainly due to the negative impact of regulation and the increasing price pressure due to fierce competition.
Turnover from fixed telephony and data decreased by 10.6 percent and 6.6 percent respectively to 108 million euro and 96 million euro.
