Liberty Global in Europe Digital technology is part of everyday life. All around the world, television, telephone and the internet unite and connect people. And our world is changing rapidly. The boundaries between television, the internet and telephone are fading. Consumer choice is redefining this new media world. Consumers decide which services and means of communication they want to use, and when and where to use them. Liberty Global makes this world possible and accessible for everyone. Liberty Global is a leading international cable operator offering advanced video, voice and broadband internet services to connect its customers to the world of entertainment, communications and information. The company operates state-of-the-art networks that serve approximately 18 million customers across 14 countries principally located in Europe, Chile and Australia (as of June 30, 2011). Liberty Global's operations also include programming businesses such as Chellomedia in Europe. 1

Liberty Global In Europe In Europe, Liberty Global is known under the brands UPC, Unitymedia (Germany), upc cablecom (Switzerland) and Telenet (Belgium) - all cable distribution companies and Chellomedia, the multimedia content provider with many branded (digital) television channels. In most of the countries in which it operates, Liberty Global also offers communication services for the business market. In Europe, Liberty Global reaches close to 26 million homes and provides services to 16 million customer households. Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland are Liberty Global s largest markets. The European headquarters in Schiphol-Rijk, the Netherlands is home to Liberty Global s technological development, network management and product development. And, as the location of Liberty Global s distribution centre, the Chello DMC (Digital Media Centre) in Amsterdam is the source of digital television for millions of households in Europe both in and outside Liberty Global s cable footprint. 2

The European headquarters near Amsterdam have evolved into the European gateway for technology development, network management and product development 3

, Innovative products provide consumers with information and entertainment services, whenever they want and in whatever form 4

Liberty Global Vision DIGITAL FOR EVERYONE The Digital Home is here today, a home in which the boundaries between television, the internet and telephony are rapidly fading. Anyone can participate, by viewing, e-mailing, chatting, phoning or text messaging with the rest of the world. New innovative products offer consumers access to a growing range of information and entertainment. Watching television is a personal experience because you decide what you want to watch and when you want to watch it. The internet is extremely fast and can be tuned precisely to your preferences. Video telephony will be available soon. And wireless connections enable you to simply take your Digital Home with you. A new world is being created in which consumers have more control and choice, equipped with the latest technology and aided by simple, high-quality services. Liberty Global and its operating companies understand this and make this world accessible to everyone. Investing in infrastructure In the Digital Home, consumers use Triple Play services (television, internet and telephony all digital services) which are often provided by a single cable or telecom company. In the future, competition between different infrastructures will intensify. Infrastructure providers invest heavily in the quality of their networks, with important consequences for the economy and society. In Europe alone, Liberty Global has invested billions of euros up to 2011 to ensure that its networks and support systems are future proof. The Digital Home requires a reliable infrastructure that is suited to two-way traffic and has high capacity for broadband services. The vast majority of our hybrid fibre-coax networks are composed of glass fibre and superior to the existing DSL, ether or satellite infrastructures. This makes Liberty Global one of the most important innovators in its markets and the main challenger to traditional telecom providers. Innovative digital services Consumers can see the possibilities of new digital services, yet they will only really be convinced if they have tried them out and experienced the benefits first-hand. Liberty Global innovates so that it can offer consumers new products and services as rapidly as possible. Liberty Global was one of the first in Europe to introduce cable based broadband internet. Many other innovations followed, including large scale digital telephony (VoIP) with the same quality as landline and ultra-high broadband internet service for the consumer with speeds up to 128 Mbps. Throughout Europe Liberty Global is investing into the digital television migration, including Digital Video Recording (DVR), Video on Demand (VoD), HDTV and 3D TV. The company is also about to introduce a Next Generation TV Platform (multimedia home gateway), an all IP in the home platform capable of distributing video, voice and data throughout the home. This solution seamlessly combines linear TV, internet content, widgets/apps and advanced search & recommendations. Growth on an international scale Liberty Global believes in the benefits of scale and its networks now spanning many countries across the globe. Benefits of scale are crucial to competing with traditional telecom providers, which often operate at a national level and wield considerable market power. By contrast, Liberty Global s cable networks are regional and primarily found in the large cities. To compete with national telecom giants a company like Liberty Global has to make optimal use of international benefits of scale. It is this advantage that enables Liberty Global to apply proven best practices from various national markets to other regions. Its size makes Liberty Global a respected partner for the best media technology companies in the world to build a range of advanced products and services. 5

Liberty Global Public Policy Partner to governments and EU institutions Governments and European (EU) institutions closely follow the fast moving developments in the European communications and broadcasting industry, markets which are often subject to regulation and new policy initiatives. Liberty Global has long-term relationships with governments and key European institutions. In order to fully understand the environment in which Liberty Global is investing, and to provide the best possible services to our customers, Liberty Global is committed to engaging regulators and government officials in an ongoing, constructive dialogue. Dedicated EU presence Since 1999, Liberty Global has had a permanent representative office close to the European institutions in Brussels. We aim to be a credible discussion partner to national bodies, to the European Commission and to Members of the European Parliament, and to add value to the debate on significant public policy issues. Liberty Global is also an active member of Cable Europe, the Brussels-based trade association, which represents the interests of the entire European cable sector. As a pan-european operator, we contribute actively to the liberalisation and harmonisation of the EU communication markets and we firmly believe in the positive effects of enlarging the EU policy environment to include the Central European countries. In addition to its representation to the EU, in almost every country in which we operate Liberty Global and its operating companies have dedicated public policy and government affairs resources which are firmly rooted in the local community. typically based on in-depth analysis of trends and developments in our markets, highlighting various future scenarios where policy and regulation play a role. The Policy Series has so far included studies on Digital TV Migration Strategies, Triple play competition for the Digital Home, Infrastructure Competition between Next Generation Networks in Europe, Transformation of the European Video Content Market, Digital Confidence, Next Generation Competition in Telecommunications and the latest study, The New Rules of Openness. he The new new rules rules of of openness openn rules of o Liberty Global Public Policy Series In 2006, Liberty Global initiated a research programme designed to actively contribute to pending policy and regulatory debates at the EU and national levels. These Liberty Global Policy Series studies, which are published on a regular basis, are Next Generation Competition Driving Innovation in Telecommunications 1 2 6

Liberty Global is the driving force behind digital television and converged services in the Digital Home

Liberty Global Economy & Technology Bringing Growth to the European Economy The role of cable in driving infrastructure competition and in accelerating service innovation in Europe has been widely acknowledged. The launch of high speed broadband internet via cable in the late nineties accelerated the introduction of broadband internet over telecommunications networks, making Europe one of the most competitive broadband markets in the world. Particularly in countries with a traditionally strong cable presence and in countries with significant cable sector consolidation, broadband internet penetration has risen quickly to very significant levels. With cable introducing ultra-high broadband internet speeds over its next generation fibre networks, a new boost to the digital economy can be expected. In order to deliver the sustainable economic and social benefits of broadband, with its 2010 Digital Agenda, the European Commission aims to achieve broadband access for all European households by 2013. By 2020, all European households should have access to much higher internet speeds (download rates of 30 Mbps) and 50% or more should have access to internet connections above 100 Mbps. Cable companies will be able to meet these goals for 2013 and 2020 and beyond well ahead of time. Infrastructure competition is delivering significant tangible benefits to consumers offering ever-increasing broadband speeds at affordable prices. Equally, cable is driving innovation and competition in the voice telephony and digital television markets. In its service areas in Europe, Liberty Global is introducing competitive triple play offerings, giving customers an unprecedented choice of different internet, telephony and television services, all tailored to customer needs. Previously static markets are being shaken up. Operators are moving into each other s traditional core markets. Telecommunications incumbents need to innovate their telephony services and lower their prices in response to the competition introduced by cable entering the telephony market. New television channels, innovative interactive applications such as Video on Demand and more European content formats & programmes are being launched on the back of the much wider television offering available to customers through the new digital television platforms of cable, telecommunications, terrestrial and satellite. The value of content rights is growing. Supply industries for network technology and customer television reception equipment are booming. The Driving Force behind Digital Television Liberty Global is firmly committed to the break-through of digital television, an area in which Europe is lagging behind the US and Japan. Digital programming in Europe is still in its early development. To accelerate change, Liberty Global is investing heavily in the roll-out of digital television in Europe. In addition to better quality and broader programming, the added value of digital television is in new interactive services that allow viewers to determine not only what they watch but when they watch it. Liberty Global and its operating companies are developing these services throughout Europe: Video-on-Demand (VoD), which gives access to a vast library of films and programmes; the Digital Video Recorder (DVR), which makes it possible to time shift, pause and rewind live broadcasts; the Electronic TV Guide (EPG), which helps viewers find and record their preferred programmes among the growing number of channels; a full High Definition Television (HDTV) product and 3D services. Triple Play: Converging Services in the Digital Home At Liberty Global, triple play stands for more than digital television, internet and telephony in a single subscription from a single provider. Of course, the ease of receiving a single bill and installing the system in one go is important. However, today s consumers, and certainly future generations, want ease of use, simplicity and comfort: a single solution. Why get up if you can use your television to also access your voicemail, e-mail and web-based content? The future is one multimedia home gateway, an IP enabled home platform capable of distributing video, voice and data throughout the home. The convergence of multiple platforms through one device provides a truly unified experience based on a user interface that seamlessly integrates video content with widgets, apps and an advanced search and 9

recommendation engine. An intuitive way for people to access their live, timeshifted, on-demand, and web-based content on the television. Technological excellence Liberty Global develops its own technology. In the fiercely competitive infrastructure market, the speed at which new products can be launched is crucial. Liberty Global s strength lies in bringing together the right technology manufacturers and jointly developing, integrating and testing new applications. Liberty Global develops new applications with multiple suppliers using (industry) standards in order to get the best the market has to offer. Liberty Global prefers to work in this open way. This makes its solutions more future proof: they are compatible and as functionality increases, prices decrease. Guiding and working with technology partners such as Cisco, Samsung, Ericsson, Intel, NDS,Nagravision, Pace, Accenture and Oracle, requires considerable technological expertise from Liberty Global, because suppliers new technologies are often not directly suitable for the mass market. Liberty Global has its own labs at its headquarters in Schiphol-Rijk where new technologies are tested. After rigorous testing the technology is integrated into the networks. Liberty Global s operating companies across Europe have their own technology experts who are equipped to integrate these new technologies. Increasing the intelligence of networks In the past decade, the intelligence and capacity of the company s cable networks have increased dramatically. In our most advanced markets, these are truly Next Generation Networks that are guaranteed to be future proof and secure. A vast majority of our networks are composed of glass fibre. For example, Liberty Global has in 10 European countries (excluding Telenet) over 40,000 route kms of glass fibre and more than 200,000 km of coax cable. Fibre is, in most parts of the network, less than 100 meters from the customer s premises. Only the last part that connects the home to the network is cable (coax). Hence the name hybrid fibre coax. There is no need to replace the last length of coax with glass to further increase the capacity of the network. Since 2008, Eurodocsis 3.0, cable s next generation broadband technology is being deployed by cable operators across Europe which have successfully tested internet speeds of over 1 Gbps, more than 50 times faster than the top broadband speeds over ADSL. Our networks are highly reliable. In the event of a failure in one part of the network, there are several options for rerouting signals. The national networks are connected to the European Liberty Global backbone network, Aorta. The Aorta backbone is recognised as a Tier 1 Carrier, placing it among the top-class telecom networks in the world. Over 90% of our networks are fully equipped for two-way traffic and suitable for carrying television, data and telephony simultaneously using a variety of transport protocols. Software is added to make the networks more user-based and gear them more towards the needs of customers. For example, users can install new services without calling in a technician and the network is suitable for individual user services, such as Video-on-Demand (VoD) 10

over 40,000 route km of glass fibre running up until 100 meters from the home

Liberty Global Corporate Responsibility Liberty Global s approach to corporate responsibility Our products and services connect people to the digital world; the social benefits of this are enormous. Our customers use our products to communicate, interact, be entertained, seek information, share content and help them understand the world around them. With this comes a responsibility to understand the impacts, both positive and negative, that our products have on the communities in which we operate, and to act accordingly. We believe that corporate responsibility (CR) can be good for our business and good for society. It s about how we do business and how we deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders, while making the most of the opportunities and benefits that our products and services create. This is why our corporate responsibility strategy focuses on promoting digital confidence this is the cornerstone of our CR strategy and it is what our stakeholders have told us is most important to them. For us, digital confidence consists of three areas: including everyone in the digital world, protecting minors as they use our services and ensuring the privacy and security of our customers. These three areas form the core of our corporate responsibility strategy. We also recognize that we have responsibilities in four other important areas we need to manage our environmental impacts effectively, treat our employees well, build a responsible supply chain, and sell and market our products responsibly. We are therefore also actively managing these areas as part of Liberty Global s overall CR strategy. Digital inclusion Our digital inclusion framework consists of widening access, enhancing skills and creating opportunities. We believe that by focusing initiatives on these three areas we can help people to enter the digital world. In Belgium, the Telenet Foundation has been bridging the digital divide over the past years by investing over 1 million across 250 local projects positively affecting over 30,000 people. While in Poland and Hungary, UPC s E-Senior Academy programmes provide free computer and internet courses to senior citizens. To us digital inclusion is not just about access and skills. Total inclusion is also about helping people learn how to make the most of our digital products and services. Thus, in the Netherlands we developed donation by red button, where customers can use the interactive functionality of digital TV and directly donate to a charity. Protecting minors as they use our services We aim to help make the internet and digital TV a safe and secure place for everyone. However, we focus our activity on young people, as we believe this group is most vulnerable. Thus, our E3 strategy sets to educate, empower and enforce where necessary. Liberty Global has partnered with Insafe, a European Commission funded project promoting internet safety across Europe, to create an internet safety toolkit for parents and kids. Over 300,000 copies of the printed toolkit have been distributed in 18 countries. In several countries, we launched the Magic Desktop software, empowering parents to create a safe and secure computer environment for their children. Environment We believe we have a responsibility to reduce the impact of the company s operations on the environment. We launched Climate Challenge, a company-wide programme designed to reduce our carbon emissions and to help our employees to do the same. Climate Challenge is composed of a number of streams including: calculating our carbon footprint, improving the efficiency of our network and offices, developing alternative energy solutions, reduction of energy use by customer equipment and raising employee awareness. We are not only committed to reducing our own carbon footprint, but are also helping our customers reduce their footprint and save money. For example, in 2009 UPC Broadband announced the next generation of energy saving set-top boxes. These boxes have been designed to use less than 1W in stand-by mode and consume an average of 5.5W in the eco-mode. UPC also addresses the energy consumption of existing set-top boxes by deploying new software that will enable these boxes to go to auto stand-by after a period of inactivity.

Liberty Global - European Cable Operations The international nature of Liberty Global and its European headquarters in Amsterdam is reflected in the make-up of its staff. Every day almost 1,000 employees, representing over 50 nationalities, manage and develop the European cable operations of Liberty Global. The Amsterdam office concentrates on customary headquarter functions, customers, technology, product and network development. The company is driven by its vision that this amazing but often complex digital world should be for everyone. Liberty Global s employees throughout Europe strive to make this happen by bringing simplicity and a real touch to everything they do. Technology Development and Labs Liberty Global s ambitions call for solid technical foundations. In Europe, these foundations are created centrally, where the design and architecture of the network are developed. Activities then vary from high-level design, which focuses on the longevity, consistency and capacity of the network as a whole, to low-level design, which encompasses the knowledge and designs that are needed to actually create cable connections. Liberty Global also has the technological know-how to translate new product concepts into technical requirements, which are developed with leading technology suppliers and then tested in its labs using where possible open (industry) standards. Product Development Liberty Global defines and develops its new services for its Triple Play offer at its headquarters in Amsterdam, where strategic and market analysis, product development and product management take place. The product focus in the coming years will be on continuing to improve our current digital TV services such as VoD and HDTV and to innovate and introduce new ones, and to leverage Fibre Power speeds of up to 128 Mbps plus develop value-added services. The main challenge is to converge our digital services and consumer electronics. Imagine a network DVR that allows you to continue watching a film in your bedroom that you started watching in the living room. Or imagine listening to your voicemail via the television; a mobile telephone that switches automatically to the cheaper land-based network when you are at home. Or a mobile telephone that allows you to set your DVR. Network Monitoring Centre Liberty Global monitors its European network from the Network Monitoring Centre in Amsterdam, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to network maintenance and incident prevention, keeping the network future proof is a priority. This ensures that capacity is sufficient for future requirements and that new services can be rolled out quickly and smoothly. The Network Monitoring Centre implements new software and technology and coordinates the integration of newly-acquired cable networks into the European network. Customer Care Customer care is a key pillar of our products and services. Several of our operations have won customer care awards such as UPC Netherlands winning the National Contact Centre Award (NCCA) for its Custom Made Career programme. The company focuses on the development of its Customer Agents and is also leading with the introduction of web care teams who monitor social media, including webforums, blogs, twitter etc. and pro-actively react to statements on the company and its products and services. The web care teams have proven to be valuable for the reputation of our country operations. UPC Business & Telenet Solutions UPC Business and Telenet Solutions service the business (B2B) markets and brings businesses the best digital products and services in a simple, and hassle free way. Together they are active in all 11 European countries in which the company operates. Both UPC Business and Telenet Solutions offer a complete range of communications solutions from standard voice, data, internet, wholesale and hosting services to the more advanced services and next generation technologies for carriers, companies, institutions and administrative bodies from large organisations to small and medium sized enterprises (SME). Both groups are strongly represented in the government, public and healthcare sectors, serving for example many hospitals throughout Europe. 17
