Benelux - Major Telecom Players

Synopsis

All three Benelux countries have performed well in terms of penetration and availability of services. In common with most other EU countries, fixed-line operations are in decline while mobile services are flourishing, especially in Luxembourg. Strong investment in upgraded mobile and fixed-line networks, particularly in The Netherlands, has encouraged consumer take-up of IP-delivered content and the rapid migration of mobile subscribers to 3G. Belgium and The Netherlands have strong competition in all sectors, but Luxembourg’s telecoms sector is still dominated by the incumbent and the country has been tardy in meeting EU directives. This report describes the present activities of the major operators in Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands, both fixed-line and mobile.
