Telenet has 600,000 fixed line customers

Mechelen, 11 September 2008 – Today Telenet recorded its 600,000 th fixed line customer. The success of Telenet in the area of fixed line telephony is chiefly the result of solid innovation power and well-thought out product development: Telenet was the first company in Belgium to introduce flat-fee phone formulae to the market with FreePhone and FreePhone 24. Last week Telenet launched FreePhone Europe as part of the new Shakes. With 600,000 customers Telenet now has a penetration of nearly 25% of the Flemish market. Approximately one in four Flemish families makes a call using a Telenet fixed line.

“The fixed phone line continues to be popular with the middle-aged and seniors”, emphasises Dann Rogge, Director of Product Marketing Telephony and Internet at Telenet, “but we are now seeing an increase in the number of young families opting for a fixed line again. Comfort, operating certainty and a low price are the deciding factors in their decision to go for a fixed line. Young families want to be able to reach each other "as a family" at all times, and they want to be able to do so at an attractive price. That’s not possible with just one subscription for a mobile phone, because at the end of the day a GSM is a very ‘individual’ device and significantly more expensive than a fixed line phone".

New phone product: FreePhone Europe. On 8 September the new Telenet Shakes were launched. FreePhone Europe has been introduced for all combinations with a phone product. FreePhone Europe is a new rate plan that allows customers to make free calls to all fixed lines in Belgium and Europe * during off- peak hours. With the introduction of Shakes and FreePhone Europe Telenet plans to continue stirring up the competition – in the fixed line sector too - and further develop the structure of its telephony business.
