KPN will reorganize and delete jobs

KPN will reorganize to reduce costs and also eliminate jobs. Say exactly that KPN can not yet mention a specific number. Analysts take into account that the loss can reach 1500 jobs. The telecommunication company wants to save 350 million euros with the reorganization. During the previous reorganization phase, KPN wanted to reduce its expenses twice as much as today. At the time, 1,500 to 2,000 jobs had been lost

According to KPN, it is difficult to mention a specific number of jobs because the job cuts are not not the main purpose of the plan. The company wants to simplify systems, digitize them and automate them.

5G and optical fiber

In addition, KPN wants to improve both the fixed network and the mobile network. The company wants to establish a faster optical fiber connection to the meter cabinet at approximately 1 million homes. From now on, only fiber is used for part of the network. The company will also prepare for the arrival of the 5G mobile network

In addition, the intention is that current customers buy larger parcels. For example, the telecommunications provider wants 300,000 households with a fixed subscription to also take a mobile subscription with KPN. KPN hopes that in three years, about 1.6 million households will buy fixed and mobile services from the company.
