PTT Post

The Dutch PTT was privatised in 1989. That merged PTT Post with PTT Telecom into one subsidiary of the Koninklijke PTT Nederland (KPN: Royal PTT The Netherlands). This separation from the state created more commercial opportunities and brought more room for entrepreneurship. PTT Post kept its monopoly position.

After taking over the Australian TNT, PTT Post became large enough to continue independently. This implied a division in the company, after which PTT Telecom continued under the name KPN. PTT Post was renamed TNT Post Groep (TPG). The division was finalised on 28 June 1998.
