Belgium's incumbent telco, Belgacom, has commercially launched its DSL-based IPTV service. The service is powered by Siemens Surpass, Siemens' end-to-end IPTV solution.

The service provides subscribers with linear TV channels, an EPG, VOD, and pay-per-view content. The VOD service offers only movies but Belgacom says it will eventually also offer TV programs. They do not yet offer Web browsing or DVR.

Belgacom says their IPTV service is available to over half of Belgium's population with an expectation of that growing to 60% in the near future.
