Synopsis
Belgium’s triple play market has grown on the back of upgraded cable and DSL infrastructure. The broadcasting sector is characterised by language variations to accommodate the French and Walloon regions. Analogue broadcasts were switched off in Flanders in November 2008, ahead of national switch-off to be affected by the end of 2011. In this report we present a review of triple play developments in 2009, as well as a comprehensive overview of the country’s broadcasting market. It provides statistics on the major service providers, and also notes the status of digital, cable and satellite TV.
