Dutch telco KPN has launched a 4K Ultra HD TV service to a selected group of 1,000 customers.

Content on the service could include the semi-finals and final of the European football championships in France via broadcaster VRT’s Sporza channel.

In addition to football, the service will include SPI International’s FunBox 4K channel, with content including sports, documentaries and TV series. KPN said it was also in talks with other potential suppliers to expand the range of content available on the service.
