The Netherlands has six cable providers, each operating in their own geographical region. This means that they are de facto regional monopolist. If you live in Amsterdam, you can only get cable television through UPC, in Maastricht only through Ziggo.

The six cable television providers: formerly state-owned KPN and its daughter company http://www.planet.nl, UPC, Casema, Tele2, and http://www.alice.nl.
