What is cable?

 

You probably know more about us than you think, as our products and services touch the lives of 76 million EU citizens on a daily basis.  Perhaps you, your friends and family already watch television, connect to the internet and make fixed or mobile phone calls via our high speed networks.  And if you’re not already a cable customer, you’re sure to have heard of some of our members such as Virgin Media, UPC, Zon Optimus and Ono, household names known and trusted by EU consumers from London to Ljubljana and beyond.

 

Cable has come a long way since its beginnings as a smart way to deliver TV to urban dwellings. Today’s European cable TV industry provides high speed broadband internet, digital TV services and both fixed and mobile telephony. We’re also at the forefront of investing and innovating for tomorrow, continuously building out faster and better future proofed networks and leading the way in achieving the targets set out in the Digital Agenda for Europe 2020. We drive competition, proudly investing in state of the art technology to create Europe’s connected future, and we're a key enabler in making Europe's Digital Single Market Strategy a reality.
