UPC

UPC Nederland is part of Liberty Global, a leading international cable and media corporation with main activities in Europe. Liberty Global is listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange, and has an international network of subsidiaries in the digital communications and media sector. UPC provides television, telephony and internet services and, thanks to constant innovation efforts, continues to provide customers with access to the fast-changing world of communication, information and entertainment.

UPC is driven by the vision that everybody, regardless of knowledge or skills, should have enabled access to the dynamic but complex world of digital communications, in a safe and confident manner. That is why WCIT2010’s convention theme, Challenges of Change, appeals to us.

Information technology has caused an acceleration in the development of social innovation, a type of innovation to which UPC is committed. It includes the development of e-health and e-mobility services, interactive digital television and high-speed internet on our Next Generation Infrastructure.

Everyday practice is our showcase. We were the first company in the Netherlands to promote and deploy interactive television and we continue to do so. In addition, UPC provides the fastest internet connections in Europe on a sustainable infrastructure, offering users innovative opportunities on a national scale.

UPC has a responsible business strategy in place, which fosters creativity and e-inclusion and focuses on social innovation. The user is key in our approach, whereby everything should be available to everyone and, at the same time, vulnerable groups should be protected. In short, we believe that 'this often complex digital world should include everyone'  That will be our message to WCIT2010.
