Camp: construction speed Internet should be cheaper

the hague - It should be cheaper for companies to build high-speed Internet connections. Minister Henk Kamp (Economic Affairs) wants to change the law to make the existing ducts and pipes for new cables.

Now it's true that a new pipe or conduit to be laid for a new Internet connection, above or below ground. The amendment to any existing infrastructure- not just telecom, but also for energy and sanitation- are used. This reduces costs and also reduces the inconvenience because there is less need to be dug, the ministry said.

The amendment would Kamp implement a European directive, which aims to reduce costs for the construction of high-speed internet. The bill is expected in the second quarter of 2017 to the House.
