The 097 telephone numbers were therefore put into use because there was a threat of a shortage of 06 numbers. In recent years, the issuance of these 097 numbers has increased extremely. After a number of stable years, around 28 million had been issued and in use in 2019. An increase of 6 million compared to 2018.
097 numbers are used for IoT data applications. For example with navigation systems, payment terminals or dongles for mobile internet. This data traffic is called machine-to-machine (M2M). The 097 numbers always have 12 digits.
The issue rate is now about 25%. Fortunately, there are still enough 097 numbers available. The Netherlands Authority for Consumers & Markets is keeping an eye on the increase in order to prevent a possible shortage in the future.

The cabinet announced in May 2022 that a hybrid heat pump will become the standard for heating homes from 2026. Together with installers and suppliers of heat pumps, the government wants to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. According to government figures, a heat pump saves 60 percent on natural gas consumption. In order to make this transition as smooth as possible, the government offers a subsidy amounting to 30 percent of the purchase price of a heat pump. Because of this transition, Thingsdata has created a plug & play solution to support all installers.
The 5G frequency auction in the Netherlands has been postponed again. The auction should have taken place last month. KPN, T-Mobile and Vodafone would like to use the 3.5 GHz frequency band for 5G, but this is not possible at the moment. The National Frequency Plan that allocates available bandwidth, does not work. At the moment, providers, satellite stations, local license holders and the networks of, for example, the port of Rotterdam and Schiphol, are in each other’s way on the 3.5 GHz frequency bands. The Ministry of Economic Affairs must now review the frequency plan and an independent advisory committee will have to enter into discussions with all stakeholders.
