This is a little off-tangent but as a newly repatriated Dane, can another Dane explain to me how we manage to both have a mega-monopoly telco in TDC and yet have such good prices on internet and phone plans?
The only ISPs available to me at my home here are all wholly owned subsidiaries of TDC: none of the others want to touch my address. That sounds like exactly the "any color you want so long as its black" choice I so enjoyed in the US.
How does Denmark do this? What is the special sauce?
- klausjensen 6y agoFierce competition, really. Many mobile companies competing - some even loss leaders, who are then bought up by one of the giants for their customers. And switching providers is pretty easy, so people shop around. This has driven down prices. For internet, the widespread introduction of fiber has really made a huge impact. My father, who lives in a rural area, has 1000GB internet at 40 EUR per month.
