I think you'll find that KPN never invested billions over 50 years. It was actually the Dutch taxpayer that invested billions over 50 years. After all that public investment the PTT was privatised, or rather sold off on the cheap, just like British Telecom. So, your assumption that KPN as a private company invested billions of Euros over 50 years plus to set up their own infrastructure (plus staff, training, vans etc.) is completely wrong. The current set up gives KPN a very unfair advantage in the market, an unfair advantage that it has been abusing for years here in The Netherlands. KPN's position in The Netherlands can be directly compared to BT Openreach's abuse of its position in the UK market.
