Genieten van meer mobiele data 
Tisha van Lammeren, Chief Commercial Officer Mass Market bij Odido: “Wij vinden dat iedereen altijd verbonden moet kunnen zijn, dat is onderdeel van de antwoorden van Odido. In een tijd dat het totale dataverbruik maar blijft stijgen, willen wij onze trouwe klanten meer mobiele data geven en daarnaast iets extra’s bieden. En hoe kan dat beter dan in de vorm van meer data? Ons mobiele netwerk werd in februari bestempeld met ‘outstanding’ en behoort daarmee tot de wereldwijde top 3. Met alle extra data geven we onze klanten nog meer mogelijkheden om gebruik te blijven maken van ons mobiele netwerk van wereldklasse, en hoeven ze minder snel op hun datalimiet te letten.”

DELTA Fiber en T-Mobile kondigen vandaag een langetermijnovereenkomst aan waarbij de twee aanbieders diensten over elkaars netwerken gaan leveren. Zo profiteren consumenten van meer keuzevrijheid op het glasvezelnetwerk en zorgen verbeterde voorwaarden op het mobiele netwerk voor nog betaalbaardere prijzen. DELTA Fiber en T-Mobile vinden dat iedereen in Nederland snel internet via mobiel en vast moet kunnen gebruiken. Daarvoor is een open toegangsmodel voor telecommunicatienetwerken met aantrekkelijke wholesaletarieven noodzakelijk.

Met deze overeenkomst versterken DELTA Fiber en T-Mobile zich allebei door gebruik te maken van elkaars kwalitatief hoogwaardige netwerken. Dit biedt consumenten meer keuzevrijheid voor betaalbaar vast internet op het glasvezelnetwerk van DELTA Fiber en mobiele diensten via het 5G-netwerk van T-Mobile.

Internet en tv van T-Mobile worden door deze overeenkomst bereikbaar voor 1,3 miljoen huishoudens en bedrijven waar het DELTA Fiber-netwerk op dit moment al actief is. T-Mobile zal binnen de DELTA Fiber-footprint gebruikmaken van dat glasvezelnetwerk. DELTA Fiber kan met dit partnership het mobiele portfolio voor zijn klanten uitbreiden door het bieden van 5G, hogere snelheden en Unlimited data via het mobiele netwerk van T-Mobile. T-Mobile heeft de intentie om DELTA Fiber’s glasvezelnetwerk te gebruiken voor het versneld uitrollen van het 5G-netwerk.

DELTA Fiber: ‘Open netwerk maakt overbouw overbodig’
DELTA Fiber wil tot 2025 groeien naar een netwerk met 2 miljoen aansluitingen, ongeveer een kwart van Nederland. Al deze adressen voegt T-Mobile toe aan haar glasvezelfootprint. Hiervoor wordt de nieuwste glasvezeltechnologie (XGS-PON) gebruikt waarover momenteel een snelheid van 2 Gbps geboden wordt. In de nabije toekomst worden snelheden van 10 Gbps mogelijk en op langere termijn snelheden van zelfs 25 Gbps. Ook over de glasvezelnetwerken die DELTA Fiber nog gaat uitrollen gaat T-Mobile diensten leveren.

Marco Visser, CEO DELTA Fiber: “We zijn blij dat we T-Mobile op ons splinternieuwe glasvezelnetwerk mogen verwelkomen”, zegt CEO Marco Visser van DELTA Fiber. “Wij geloven in een hybride marktmodel waarbij telecomaanbieders diensten leveren over elkaars open netwerken. Dat is de snelste en meest economische manier om Nederland te verglazen. Dubbele aanleg van glasvezel is niet duurzaam en niet nodig.”

Op weg naar betaalbaar glasvezelinternet voor nagenoeg heel Nederland
T-Mobile wordt door deze samenwerking in één klap de internetaanbieder die de meeste huishoudens en bedrijven in Nederland via glasvezel kan gaan bedienen. T-Mobile doet dit door een wholesalemodel te hanteren waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van de netwerken van diverse netwerkeigenaren. Niet alleen zorgt dit voor betaalbare diensten maar vormt het ook een duurzaam alternatief.

In totaal kunnen nu 5 miljoen huishoudens internet en tv-diensten via glasvezel afnemen van T-Mobile. In de komende jaren neemt het aantal adressen waar T-Mobile diensten aanbiedt nog verder toe. In het komend jaar verwacht T-Mobile haar diensten al op 6 miljoen adressen te leveren en op de langere termijn zullen de internet en tv-diensten via glasvezel voor nagenoeg alle Nederlandse huishoudens en bedrijven beschikbaar komen. T-Mobile is momenteel al de grootste mobiele provider van Nederland.

T-Mobile ziet deze stap als een belangrijk onderdeel van de verdere digitalisering van Nederland. Søren Abildgaard, CEO T-Mobile Nederland: “Ik ben superblij met deze deal. Wij pleiten al jaren voor een open toegangsmodel met eerlijke wholesaletarieven dat snel en betaalbaar internet voor iedereen mogelijk maakt. Daarnaast is DELTA de eerste MVNO die Unlimited 5G aan haar klanten gaat bieden en daar zijn we trots op. Door gebruik te maken van elkaars sterktes zetten we samen een nieuwe standaard voor gecombineerde vaste en mobiele abonnementen (FMC).”

DELTA Fiber and T-Mobile give each other full access to their networks

T-Mobile now also largest provider of fiber optic internet

• T-Mobile and DELTA Fiber have entered into a long-term agreement to provide services via each other’s networks.
•  From now on, T-Mobile’s internet and TV services are available via fiber to households that are or will be connected to the DELTA Fiber network, which offers speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
•  T-Mobile will use the DELTA Fiber infrastructure for its internet and TV services via fiber optic cable. DELTA Fiber currently connects 1.3 million households and businesses via fiber. DELTA’s ambition is to grow this to 2 million addresses.
•  T-Mobile intends to use DELTA Fiber’s fiber network to accelerate the rollout of its 5G network.
• DELTA Fiber can use this partnership to expand the mobile portfolio for its customers by offering 5G, higher speeds and Unlimited data via T-Mobile’s mobile network.
• The agreement underlines the joint aim to bring fiber to all of the Netherlands. DELTA and T-Mobile believe that this can best be achieved by adopting an open access model with fair wholesale rates that enables a combined supply of fast cable internet and mobile internet. This will give consumers more freedom of choice in fiber and mobile networks, at affordable prices.
   

Today, DELTA Fiber and T-Mobile announced a long-term agreement under which the two providers will provide services via each other’s networks. This will give consumers more freedom of choice on the fiber network, while improved conditions on the mobile network will mean even more affordable prices. DELTA Fiber and T-Mobile believe that everyone in the Netherlands should have access to high-speed internet via mobile and cable connections. This requires an open access model for telecommunications networks with fair, wholesale rates. 

With this agreement, DELTA Fiber and T-Mobile are both gaining a stronger position by using each other’s high-quality networks. Consumers are offered more freedom of choice: they can choose from both affordable cable internet options on DELTA Fiber’s fiber network and mobile services via T-Mobile’s 5G network.  

Through this agreement, T-Mobile’s Internet and TV services will become available to 1.3 million households and businesses that are already connected to the DELTA Fiber network. T-Mobile will use that fiber network within the DELTA Fiber footprint. With this partnership, DELTA Fiber can expand the mobile portfolio for its customers by offering 5G, higher speeds and Unlimited data via T-Mobile’s mobile network. T-Mobile intends to use DELTA Fiber’s fiber network to accelerate the rollout of its 5G network.

DELTA Fiber: ‘Open network means there is no need for double installation’
DELTA Fiber wants to grow to a network with 2 million connections by 2025, which is roughly a quarter of the Netherlands. T-Mobile will add all these addresses to its fiber footprint. For this, the latest fiber optic technology (XGS-PON) is used that currently offers speeds of 2 Gbps. In the near future, speeds of 10 Gbps and in the longer term even 25 Gbps will be possible. T-Mobile will also provide services via the fiber networks that DELTA Fiber is still to roll out.

Marco Visser, CEO of DELTA Fiber: “We are very pleased to welcome T-Mobile to our brand-new fiber network,” says Marco Visser, CEO of DELTA Fiber. “We believe in a hybrid market model with telecom providers providing services via each other’s open networks. That is the fastest and most economical way to bring fiber to everyone in the Netherlands. Double installation of fiber optic cables is neither sustainable nor necessary.”

Towards affordable fiber optic internet for virtually all of the Netherlands
In one fell swoop, this partnership will make T-Mobile the Internet provider that can start serving most households and businesses in the Netherlands via the fiber network. T-Mobile will do this by adopting a wholesale model using the networks of various network owners. This does not only ensure affordable services; it is also a sustainable alternative.

A total of 5 million households can now purchase Internet and TV services via fiber from T-Mobile. In the coming years, the number of addresses to which T-Mobile offers services will increase even further. In the next year, T-Mobile expects to deliver services to 6 million addresses, and in the longer term, Internet and TV services via fiber will become available to virtually all Dutch households and businesses. Today, T-Mobile is already the largest provider of mobile services in the Netherlands.

T-Mobile sees this move as an important part of the further digitalization of the Netherlands. Søren Abildgaard, CEO T-Mobile Netherlands: “I am super happy with this deal. For years we have been advocating an open access model with fair wholesale rates that make it possible for everyone to enjoy high-speed Internet at affordable prices. In addition, DELTA is the first MVNO to offer Unlimited 5G to its customers and we are proud of that. By leveraging each other’s strengths, together we are setting a new standard for combined cable and mobile plans (FMC).”

Join Us and T-Mobile create meeting place for lonely young people at Liberation Day Pop Festival
 

Around 1200 young people visited Join Us and T-Mobile's Hang Out during the festival in Haarlem. To repeat last year's success, the two organisations created a meeting place for young people struggling with feelings of loneliness. This allowed them to experience Liberation pop together. In the Netherlands some 275.000 young people are chronically lonely. To them festivals like this that attract many people are extra tense and challenging.

Thanks to the Join Us Hang Out at Liberation Day Pop, youngsters enjoyed the music at the festival together. Young people could meet here at a location where they could enjoy each other, the Join Us staff and volunteers. They were encouraged to talk about loneliness and the Join Us foundation. In this way Join Us and T-Mobile support young people to take the first exciting step towards connecting with each other. Ravi (aged 21), Join Us participant: “It was great. I met great people and am so happy that I was able to experience a festival for once!"

'Also celebrating'
Tisha van Lammeren, ambassador of the Digital Inclusion programme and CCO at T-Mobile Netherlands: "It is wonderful when everyone can join in and enjoy a festival. At Liberation Day Pop, we made that possible together with Join Us for the second time in a row. There are young people who have never been to a festival; we just want everyone to feel welcome and we do everything we can to encourage them."

Join Us & T-Mobile Netherlands 
The Join Us Hang Out during Liberation Day Pop Haarlem is a co-creation of T-Mobile Netherlands. T-Mobile is committed to digitalisation for an inclusive society and together with Join Us developed an online community where young people can connect digitally. The telecom provider wants to help people leave loneliness behind and participate in society. Together with Join Us, T-Mobile is committed to supporting young people in the Netherlands and raising awareness of this social problem. The Join Us partnership is part of the Digital Inclusion programme, one of the four programmes of T-Mobile Netherlands' Connect to Change plan. This plan combines all social activities.

Liberation Pop in Haarlem creates connection amongst young people

Somewhat 1,200 young people visited Join Us and T-Mobile's Hang Out during the festival in Haarlem. This year, for the very first time, the two organisations organised a meeting place for young people struggling with feelings of loneliness. This allowed them to experience Liberation Pop together.  

This year, more than 140,000 people came to the Haarlemmerhout to celebrate freedom in the Netherlands. Most people were overjoyed that festivals like Bevrijdingspop were possible again and were eager to party. However, for the 200,000 young people in the Netherlands that experience chronical loneliness, festivals like this are especially difficult after a two-year absence.  

Hang Out 
Thanks to the Join Us Hang Out at the festival, young people enjoyed the music at the festival together. They could meet each other here and thus always had a location where they had fun with Join Us staff and volunteers. They could also go there with questions about loneliness and Join Us. Join Us thus helped young people take the first exciting step towards connecting with each other. Jardi (22 years old), Join Us participant: "Before Liberation Pop I had never been to a festival, I am so happy that I met new people and had a great day!" 

Meeting place 
Jolanda van Gerwe, director of the Join Us foundation is proud that so many young people managed to find the Hang Out on the festival grounds. "By creating a meeting place, we make festivals accessible to young people with feelings of loneliness. Nice that Liberation Pop Haarlem and T-Mobile Netherlands acknowledge this and take action together with us. This is how we bring youth together and take another step in fighting loneliness."  

Join Us & T-Mobile Netherlands  
The Join Us Hang Out during was partly made possible thanks to T-Mobile Netherlands. T-Mobile is committed to digitalisation for an inclusive society and together with Join Us developed an online community where young people can connect with each other digitally. The telecom provider wants to help people leave loneliness behind and participate in society. Together with Join Us, T-Mobile is committed to supporting young people in the Netherlands, and in doing so and raising awareness about this social problem. The partnership with Join Us is part of the Digital Inclusion programme, one of the four programmes in T-Mobile Netherlands' Connect to Change plan. This plan bundles all social activities. 

'Also celebrating' 
Margreet Hoekstra, ambassador of the Digital Inclusion programme and Director Legal & Regulatory Affairs at T-Mobile Netherlands: "Society is reopened and everything is possible again. Not everyone experiences this as something pleasant. There are still too many people, including young people, who feel lonely and therefore do not dare to participate fully in society. It is our daily mission to get everyone who wants to participate and connect with each other. By organising the Hang Out, young people who might otherwise have stayed at home could now also celebrate the festival of freedom. It made sense to us, together with our partners from Liberation Pop Haarlem, to help the Join Us foundation and realise this Hang Out."
