KPN's German unit E-Plus attracted 937,000 additional customers, whilst KPN Mobile The Netherlands grew by 171,000. In Belgium, BASE achieved a total of 114,000 additions, of which 90,000 in the fourth quarter alone. With over 8.2 million customers in Germany, over 5.2 million in the Netherlands and 1.25 million in Belgium, KPN ended 2003 with some 14.7 million mobile customers.

At the end of 2003, KPN had a total of 870,000 i-mode customers. KPN will pass the one million

i-mode customer mark in February. The number of i-mode customers has therefore almost doubled since the end of September.

KPN CEO Ad Scheepbouwer is satisfied with this development. "If you had said beforehand that we would achieve one million customers within two years as the first in Europe with a completely new mobile data product, I would have gladly taken it."

Within KPN's fixed division, the number of ADSL customers grew from 310,000 to 746,000 over 2003. Broadband and mobile will remain important growth drivers for 2004.
