For the first time in 16 years, Belgian cable operators have seen the fall of their subscribers numer. According to Cable Belgium there were 3.85 million households connected - that is a loss of 46,000 (1.2%) in comparison with the previous year.
In 2005 cable reached the 4 million subscribers, now this numer is decreasing. The main reason is competition from other platforms, mainly with IPTV provider Belgacom TV that has 305,000 subscribers. Last year, a DTH platform TV Vlaanderen has appeared and now it has more than 50,000 subscribers.
