subject: FTTH: Reggefiber's open access strategy Market Research Report [print this page] Reggefiber has emerged as the major FTTH player in the Netherlands. Its position was boosted when incumbent KPN came aboard as a major shareholder in 2008. KPN will leverage the Reggefiber network to deploy FTTH-based broadband/video to its own retail customers. Reggefiber is aiming to connect 2 million homes (more than one-quarter of Dutch households) by 2013. The cooperation of municipalities will remain important to Reggefiber, both in facilitating deployment and helping to finance it, particularly in less dense areas.
