Research and Markets has announced the addition of Netherlands - Convergence - Triple Play & Digital TV to their offering.

The Dutch TV market is characterised by its comprehensive cable TV network presence, which reaches almost all TV homes. Most FTA TV signals are received via cable. The satellite TV market is comparatively small, and the multichannel environment has affected the development of digital terrestrial TV in the country. The broadband market is particularly well served by cable, ADSL and fibre networks which form the bedrock of emerging triple play services. This report provides an overview of media convergence in The Netherlands in 2005 and early 2006, profiling the major players and covering developments in digital, cable and interactive TV as well as services such as Video-on-Demand (VoD), VoIP and broadband TV.
