Resumen de Netherlands: : Dutch telecom company granted exemption from must-carry rules for new app
KPN, a Dutch landline and mobile telecommunications company, has been granted an exemption from the must-carry rules with regard to its new television service. The telecom provider developed a new service in the form of a mobile application that serves a package with 18 linear television channels, catch-up television, on-demand-content, and recording options. A subscriber pays an all-inclusive fee per month to use the service (called “Play”). KPN offers Play as an over-the-top (OTT) service, meaning that the service is available over the open Internet using Internet access from any Internet service provider.
