Koninklijke KPN N.V. (OTCMKTS: KKPNF) is the leading telecommunications and ICT services provider in the Netherlands. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of fixed-line and mobile telephony, broadband internet, television, and digital voice services to residential customers, alongside a broad range of managed ICT solutions, cybersecurity, cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) applications for business and wholesale clients. KPN’s integrated network infrastructure spans both legacy copper and modern fiber-optic lines, complemented by a nationwide 4G/5G mobile network.
Headquartered in The Hague, KPN has its roots in the Dutch state postal, telegraph and telephone services (PTT), which were reorganized as a public limited company in the late 1980s. The firm was partly privatized in the mid-1990s and fully listed on Euronext Amsterdam by 2000. Over its history, KPN has played a key role in deploying digital communications across the Netherlands, including the launch of early GSM services and ongoing expansion of its high-speed fiber network.
While KPN’s primary operations focus on the Dutch market, the company also maintains select international wholesale partnerships and service agreements. Its enterprise division supports large and medium-sized organizations with customized connectivity, data center services and digital transformation projects. KPN’s wholesale arm enables third-party providers to access its network infrastructure to deliver local services under their own brands.
As of 2023, KPN’s executive leadership is headed by CEO Joost Farwerck, who oversees the company’s strategic priorities of network modernization, customer experience enhancement and sustainability. The firm’s supervisory board is chaired by Ingrid Thijssen. KPN continues to invest in green energy initiatives and carbon-neutral network operations as part of its commitment to environmental and social responsibility.
