Business Strategy and Outlook
Proximus, the incumbent telecom operator in Belgium, shares broadband leadership with cable peer Telenet, with around 45% and 35% market share, respectively. The Belgian broadband market is concentrated, with Telenet dominating in the north of the country (Flanders) and Proximus in the south (Wallonia). The capital Brussels is a more competitive area, given its high density. Proximus has a fixed network presence across the entire country, while Telenet and Voo (another cable operator, acquired by Orange in 2022) operate only in Flanders and Wallonia, respectively.
