Belgium - officially The Kingdom of Belgium - is a country in
northwest Europe. It is a founding member of the European Union and hosts its headquarters,
as well as those of other major international organizations, including NATO. Belgium’s two
largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north, with 59% of the
population, and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia, inhabited by 31%. The
Brussels-Capital Region, officially bilingual, is a mostly French-speaking enclave within
the Flemish Region and near the Walloon Region, and has 10% of the population. A small
German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia. Belgium’s linguistic diversity
and related political and cultural conflicts are reflected in the political history
and a complex system of government.

Belgium Telecommunications
Market Reports
Belgium Broadband Market -
Overview & Statistics report
One of the smaller and more densely populated countries in
Europe, Belgium was initially slow to adopt the Internet and
related data and broadband. However, the broadband market has
taken off in recent years, largely at the expense of dial-up
Internet subscriptions. Being a heavily cabled country, most
broadband activity was initially from the cable TV network
operators.This Paul Budde report profiles Belgium’s
fixed and wireless broadband markets to 2020. See the summary of the
report
Belgium Telecom Convergence and
Digital Media Market Report
Belgium’s market for bundled services 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
have been switched off in the northern part of the country, to be followed by
the southern part in late 2011. In this report we present a review of bundled
services developments, as well as a comprehensive overview of Belgium’s
broadcasting market.

Belgium Key Statistics,
Telecom Market & Regulatory Overviews
Belgium’s medium-sized telecom market benefits from comprehensive DSL and
cable networks, a strong cable-TV sector, and effective competition in the broadband
and mobile telephone markets. Broadband penetration lags behind the leading European
nations but new regulatory measures to promote wholesale and bitstream access should
address lingering issues.

Belgium Mobile Market -
Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Belgium’s mobile market is served by three main operators and a growing
number of MVNOs. All three MNOs have upgraded their networks with HSPA technology,
while LTE trials are continuing with a view to launching commercial services later
in 2012. Mobile TV offerings are available but have yet to make an impression on
consumers. In this report we profile Belgian's mobile market, providing the latest
statistics on the main players, as well as the most recent developments on HSPA
rollouts, emerging data markets and data services such as SMS, i-mode and mobile TV. Get the full report

Belgium e-Commerce
Report
European B2C e-commerce is developing extremely well. In 2010
Europe overtook the USA, the biggest market in the world until
then. European B2C e-commerce, including online retail
goods and services such as online travel bookings, vents and
other tickets, downloads etc., grew by 19.0% to reach €311.6 bn.
The EU28 reached €276.5 bn, or 88.7% of total European e-sales,
a growth of 18.1% in 2012.
The e-commerce figures for Belgium confirm that Belgians are enthusiastic
e-shoppers. 57% of Belgians have shopped online in the last year, a 13% rise
compared to 2012. The average online e-shopper is a Flemish man aged between
28 and 43. Men shop online more than women and Flemings more than Walloons.
An interesting difference to what we see in bricks-and-mortar shops, where
women generally shop more than men. It's been clear for some time that
e-commerce is on the up and up.
