There may be a price war coming on the market for mobile subscriptions. Providers would want prices lower, because there is competition coming on. Also take fewer and fewer people have a subscription with device.
The latest price war between the companies took place in 2010. Then, prior to price increases, subscriptions, mobile internet once again the offer is made. After the auction of a lot of important frequencies later this month can be a minimum of two new entrants a private network build, and compete with KPN, Vodafone and T-Mobile. This would allow the market to be shaken, writes REUTERS. Also Tweakers.net has in recent time received directions from which it can be determined that there are price reductions may be coming.

Price reductions would not only be necessary because of the expected increased competition by the auction, but also because Dutch people are becoming less and less lucrative subscriptions with a device to shut down. Instead, more and more people for sim-only or prepaid.
In the past few years have providers understand their prices increased; where to 2010 calls and sms and formed the basis of the subscription, then the mobile internet. Access to the mobile internet, however, was until 2010 for a tenner per month, which, according to providers, the costs do not cover. Therefore, internetbundels more expensive, while texting and sometimes calling for new subscriptions unlimited can.
At the auction of the next month, providers can offer on the frequencies that can still be used for 2g and 3g. The expectation is that in each case, on a few frequencies for 4g networks. When activated, is unclear. It is unclear which five companies participate in the auction, because that information is kept secret, but presumably that KPN, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Ziggo and Tele2.
