This is an excerpt
Executive Summary
The Low Countries are Europe's broadband leaders. At the end of 2004, almost one-third of households had broadband in the Netherlands and Belgium. But differences in PC and online penetration, market competitiveness, and competitive focus predict a two-speed future for both countries. The rest of Europe can learn from KPN's cheap, asset-light triple-play and ADSL2+ strategies and its stark contrast to Belgacom's expensive VDSL and triple-play strategies. The Dutch broadband market will end the decade in the No.1 spot in Europe, with 54% of all households having broadband. Belgium will fall back, ending the decade at 44% broadband penetration. Dominant ADSL will keep its market share steady at 60% throughout the decade.
