Agreed terms and conditions for the Full MVNO Agreement termination
The Full MVNO service provided by Orange Belgium to Telenet will run until the end of the year 2018, implying Telenet's mobile customers can continue to use Orange Belgium's network until the end of 2018. Telenet committed to a minimum payment of €150.0 million (excluding VAT) over the 3-year period 2016-2018. The actual amount paid by Telenet could exceed this minimum amount in case of higher network usage.

Background information on the Full MVNO Agreement

By way of background, Mobistar (currently Orange Belgium) announced its first MVNO Agreement with Telenet in February 2006. In 2009, Telenet extended its relationship with Mobistar into a Full MVNO Agreement. In April 2012, both parties decided to extend the Full MVNO Agreement until December 31, 2017. In February 2016, Telenet acquired BASE Company NV. Telenet customers, which are currently hosted on the network of Orange Belgium, will be progressively migrated to the BASE network where and when the coverage extension and capacity upgrades will be regarded as sufficient by Telenet.
