AMSTERDAM: Ziggo’s TV revenues grew by more than 8 percent during the quarter to slightly more than EUR285 million and KPN saw its TV revenues grow by almost 4 percent. Despite the revenue growth, KPN’s marketshare dropped by 0.4% to less than 25%, while Ziggo’s market share grew to more than 59%.
The number of TV connections decreased by 0.2% during the third quarter to reach 7.8 million on September 30. Digital TV is used by 90.3% of all connections as the quarterly growth was driven by IPTV via fibre and DSL. This was enough to off-set the decrease of digital cable TV, Digitenne and satellite TV.
