 | | KPN, the Dutch incumbent telecommunications company, has launched a legal challenge to change telecoms regulation, which it said is hampering its ability to compete with increasingly aggressive cable rivals. |
 | | KPN is seeking a preliminary injunction against the Dutch government - which owns a 6 per cent stake in the company - in addition to making complaints to the competition and communications authorities. |
 | | KPN has also lodged complaints against the cable operators with the NMa, the competition authority, and OPTA, the communications authority, over the same matter, but said it had resorted to court action because a speedy result would not be possible under the fragmented regulatory framework. |
