A novel approach to fibre network access regulation in the Netherlands

The Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets – the ACM – recently took a novel approach to the regulation of wholesale access to fibre-to-the-home networks in the Netherlands. Side-stepping the normal route for imposing network access obligations under the Dutch Telecommunications Act (explained in further detail below), the ACM decided to accept an offer by the incumbent telecoms operator KPN and its joint venture affiliate Glaspoort to lower the rates for access to their respective fibre networks and to improve certain other access conditions. In a decision of 26 August 2022 (only available in Dutch), the ACM declared the access rates and conditions proposed by KPN and Glaspoort binding on both parties for a period of 8 years.

19 June 2025: Quantum state of play – emerging opportunities and threats

Quantum technology is here now, but transformational use cases exist more in theory than practice. Despite this, corporations and governments are investing billions in a technology that could radically reshape our world. What takeaways can we draw from the emerging confluence between computation and physics? How will quantum technologies impact data privacy, cybersecurity, IP, markets, and international trade? Our panellists will cut through the hype, exploring commercial and legal implications of the current state of technological progress and sharing concrete steps that you can implement in your organisation today.
