Prior to that, he worked at Proximus for 18 years.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Digi&rsquo;s launch in December 2024 was spectacular, with prices for mobile telecoms services well below those of its competitors. However, criticism of its service and infrastructure roll-out followed, and in May, the Brussels Court of Appeal confirmed that Digi had not installed its network in accordance with the regulations.</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Recently, Degadt announced a commercial partnership with Bpost, under which people could subscribe to Digi via post offices.</p><div id=\"bookmark-529d7109-409d-4e64-acbe-56f91ec45b59\"\n     class=\"release-content-bookmark release-content-bookmark--horizontal\">\n\n            <a class=\"release-content-bookmark__thumbnail\"\n           href=\"http://prez.ly/ZKHd\"\n           rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n           target=\"_blank\"           style=\"background-image: url(https://prezly.imgix.net/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.uc.assets.prezly.com%2Fd3ec578f-43e9-437c-a46f-d081dd1ce8af%2F-%2Fpreview%2F600x600%2F?ar=1%3A1&amp;fit=crop&amp;s=a37695a4a2695c7968c49d2846da5afa)\"\n        ></a>\n    \n    <div class=\"release-content-bookmark__details\">\n\n                    <a class=\"release-content-bookmark__title\"\n               href=\"http://prez.ly/ZKHd\"\n               rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n               target=\"_blank\"               data-type=\"bookmark\"\n               data-track=\"Story WebBookmark Click\"\n               data-placement=\"content\"\n               data-id=\"529d7109-409d-4e64-acbe-56f91ec45b59\"\n           >\n                Digi telecom subscriptions to be sold in all Belgian post offices            </a>\n        \n                    <div class=\"release-content-bookmark__description\">\n                Telecom operator Digi will soon sell its mobile and internet subscriptions in all 655 Bpost post offices across Belgium, the two companies...            </div>\n        \n        <a href=\"https://www.belganewsagency.eu/\"\n           target=\"_blank\"\n           rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"\n           class=\"release-content-bookmark__provider\"\n        >\n            <img class=\"release-content-bookmark__provider-icon\" src=\"https://avatars.prezly.com/favicon?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.belganewsagency.eu%2Fdigi-telecom-subscriptions-to-be-sold-in-all-belgian-post-offices&newsroom=6b71e247-a9ba-4732-aaa3-88be14c119db\" aria-hidden=\"true\" />\n            belganewsagency.eu        </a>\n    </div>\n</div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">According to the latest published figures, Digi had 99,000 mobile customers at the end of March.
