Endless Horizons
We work in a dynamic industry. Digital technology is
fundamentally changing the way people communicate,
receive information and access entertainment.
At Liberty Global, we connect people to the digital world
– a world of convenience and infinite choice. Our market-
leading broadband, voice, and video services put millions of
customers in control, enabling them to discover and enjoy
endless possibilities on their own terms, and at their own
pace. We remain focused on driving technological change to
improve the lives of our customers.
Over the past two decades, we’ve been at the forefront of
technological innovation for interactive digital television
and high speed broadband services. In both areas we have
concentrated on developing ground-breaking new products
that exploit a key competitive advantage – our fiber-rich,
broadband cable networks. For example, we recently
launched our next generation media and entertainment
platform, Horizon TV, which is transforming the way
consumers watch television and enjoy multimedia content
across a range of devices throughout the home. We also
provide the fastest broadband speeds that are commercially
available in most of our markets – and we plan to
significantly extend our performance advantage with speed
upgrades happening across most of our markets.
Our historical results demonstrate consistent growth for
Liberty Global, both organically and through acquisitions
while maintaining a strong balance sheet and an unwavering
commitment to share repurchases. In June 2013, we
completed the acquisition of Virgin Media, adding a base of
nearly five million customers in the United Kingdom, and
solidifying our position as the world’s largest international
cable company. As of June 30, our cable systems served over
24 million customers in 14 countries, including 12 in Europe.
We are excited about the future, as we continue to innovate
and provide our subscribers with world class products and
services that enable them to, in the words of our vision
statement, “Connect, Discover and Be Free.”

Our role
in the new
multimedia world
International scale
At Liberty Global our networks span many countries. The
benefits of scale allow us to compete with traditional
telecom providers, which often operate at the national
level and wield considerable market power. By contrast,
our cable networks are regional – mainly in large cities.
It‘s this advantage that enables us to apply proven best
practices from one region to others. Our size makes us a
strong partner for the best media technology companies
in the world. We work closely with them to build a range of
advanced products and services.
In recent decades we’ve been an important market
consolidator, especially in Europe. Scale also allows us
to create sustainable businesses in a world increasingly
dominated by large international media players. The world
is changing rapidly, with disruptive technologies and
demanding consumers forcing providers to innovate at
breakneck speed. For example, with 7.000 cable operators
in Europe today, this market still needs further consolidation
to compete effectively.
Triple play
The core of our offer to our customers is ‘triple play’ – 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 – also want ease of use, simplicity, and comfort.
Innovative digital services
Consumers can see the potential of new digital services,
yet they will only really be convinced if they have tried them
out and experienced the benefits first-hand. This is why we
offer our customers new products and services as rapidly
as possible. We were among the first in Europe to introduce
cable-based broadband internet. Other innovations soon
followed, including large-scale digital telephony (VoIP) and
ultra-high speed broadband internet services with speeds
up to 250 Mbps and 500 Mbps soon to be launched. We call
this “Fiber Power”. We’re investing in the further migration
to digital television, including Digital Video Recording (DVR),
Video on Demand (VoD), HDTV, and 3D TV throughout our
footprint. And we have recently launched Horizon TV, our
new media, and entertainment platform in the Netherlands,
Switzerland, Ireland and Germany. This transforms the way
our customers watch TV and enjoy multimedia content on a
range of devices in the home. Similar rich video experiences
are offered through our TiVo platform in the UK and Yelo TV
in Belgium. In the years ahead we will continue to improve
our digital services and introduce new ones.
Our innovative products provide
consumers with information
and entertainment on multiple
devices, whenever they want.

Product innovation is a core focus to strengthen our
leadership position in digital video products and services.
Horizon is an elegant media and entertainment platform for
the home, which seamlessly integrates cable, web-based
and personal content. Using a simple intuitive interface,
consumers are sharing and viewing content on multiple
screens and devices wirelessly anywhere in the home.
Horizon puts a smart server at the heart of the digital home.
This multimedia gateway sets up a wireless network that
connects the TV to devices such as computers, tablets and
smartphones. The TV interface uses 3D graphics and images
that bring content to life and make navigating simple, fast,
and seamless. It also integrates access to personal media
content such as photos, music and movies stored in the
home or in the cloud, enabling a rich media experience on
devices both in and outside the home.
Horizon does for TV what apps have done for smartphones
and tablets. It’s an open, scalable, future-oriented platform.
We’re working with content providers such as YouTube,
Facebook and Twitter to develop applications for our App
Store, where subscribers are offered a full range of web-
based apps and widgets that are seamlessly integrated via
the TV user interface. We developed Horizon with world-
class technology partners, including Samsung, Cisco and
Intel®.
Another innovation is the development of Wifi home spots
for our customers. The use of Wifi is growing fast because
of the explosive uptake of smartphones and tablets. Several
initiatives are on their way. We are launching WifiSpots that
are enabled by the Wifi modems of our internet customers
– soon many internet customers will enjoy connection to
unlimited wireless internet in our cable footprint in a smart
and safe way. This is a free service for all internet customers
with a fast and secure connection. Also Wifi Hotspots are
developed for all kinds of public places, which are delivered
to customers of our Business Services entities.
Mobile
As smartphones and tablets have brought the internet to
the mobile world, we are also moving towards quadruple
play. Adding a fourth, mobile, service to the package fulfils
all of the customers’ media and communication needs.
In an increasing number of markets, we offer mobile
services through a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO)
agreement with mobile network operators. We have
successful operations in the UK, Belgium and Chile, with
other markets catching up.
Mobile services typically include telephony, SMS and
internet, and customers can combine these with one or more
of our other services.
Horizon puts a smart
server at the heart of the
digital home.
liberty global 9
Business services
Besides consumer products and services, we also offer a
range of voice, broadband internet and data services to
business customers in most of our service areas across
our local fiber-based networks. Customers range from
Small Office Home Office (SoHo) – generally fewer than 20
employees – to medium and large enterprises (MLE), as well
as wholesale customers.
A key growth area for Business Services is the SoHo
segment. We offer advanced broadband internet, voice and
video services, combined with Value Added Services (e.g.
cloud) and dedicated Business Class Support.
For medium to large enterprises, we offer network-solutions
addressing their individual voice, data, and connectivity
needs, e.g. customized services for hospitals and care
facilities, educational institutions, government offices,
and call-centers. Services include Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP), webhosting, cloud solutions, audio and web
conferencing, and interactive media services such as direct
response and voting.
Our wholesale business offers a complete range of access,
voice and internet services to carriers, ISPs and mobile
operators in Europe. We provide these services over our
own extensive fiber-based networks, advanced data and IP
network platforms and VoIP switching systems.
Customer care
Excellent customer care is key to our success, which is
why we put so much emphasis on service innovation. We
believe that by selling and marketing our services in a fair
and transparent way, and by making sure our customer care
service is high quality, we can retain and grow our customer
base. We were one of the first companies to introduce
web-care teams, which monitor social media, including
web forums, blogs, and Twitter for questions and possible
complaints. These teams are proactive and interactively
responding to the growing number of consumers searching
online for information. This service is personal and fast,
often exceeding consumers' expectations.
Our advanced digital
media facility specializes
in multi-lingual
and multi-platform
broadcasting in standard
and high definition.

Infrastructure
 technology
The digital home
Consumers use digital services (television, internet, and
telephony) more and more in a ‘triple-play bundle’ that is
often provided by a single cable or telecom company. In the
future, competition will intensify. Infrastructure providers
are investing heavily in the quality of their networks, with
important consequences for the economy and for society.
At Liberty Global, we’ve invested billions of euros to ensure
that our networks and support systems are future-proof. The
digital home requires a reliable two-way infrastructure that
has high capacity for broadband services. Most of our hybrid
fiber-coax networks are superior to existing DSL, terrestrial
or satellite infrastructures, particularly with regards to high-
speed broadband.
Technological excellence
At Liberty Global we develop a lot of our own technology. The
speed at which new products can be launched is crucial, and
our strength lies in bringing together the right technology
manufacturers and jointly developing, integrating and testing
new applications and devices. We develop new products and
applications with multiple suppliers using industry standards.
We prefer to work in an open environment as it makes our
solutions more future-proof.
Working with first-class technology partners such as Cisco,
Samsung, Ericsson, Intel, Nagravision, Pace, Accenture and
Oracle requires considerable technological expertise,
because these suppliers’ new technologies are often not
directly suitable for a mass market. We have our own labs at
our Amsterdam headquarters where new technologies are
tested. After rigorous testing, these new technologies are
integrated into existing networks by our operating companies.
Increasing the intelligence of networks
In the past decade, the intelligence and capacity of our
cable networks have increased dramatically. We believe, in
all of our markets, these truly next-generation networks are
secure and future-proof. The vast majority of our networks
are composed of glass fiber and, in most cases, fiber is less
than 100 meters from the customer’s premises. Only the last
part that connects the home to the network is coaxial cable
(coax). We call these networks ‘hybrid fiber/coax’. As most
of our networks consists of fiber, there's no need to replace
the last length of coax with glass fiber to further increase the
capacity.
We deliver products and
services via innovative
networks that we’ve built up
over the years.
liberty global 13
Since 2008, DOCSIS 3.0 next-generation broadband
technology has been introduced by cable operators across
the world and successfully tested at internet speeds of over
1 Gbps, more than 50 times faster than the top broadband
speeds over ADSL. Our networks are fast and extremely
reliable. In the event of a failure in one part of the network,
there are several options for rerouting signals.
The networks of our country operations are connected
to our ‘Aorta’ backbone, a Tier 1 Carrier that is one of 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-friendly and gear them
more to the needs of customers. For example, users can
install new services without calling in a technician and the
network is suitable for two-way-services, such as Video on
Demand (VoD).
Technology development and labs
The design and architecture of the network are developed
centrally. Activities in our labs vary from high-level design,
which focuses on the longevity, consistency and capacity
of the network as a whole, to the low-level design needed
to create cable connections. We also translate new product
concepts, which we develop in cooperation with leading
technology suppliers, into technical requirements and then
test them using open industry standards.
Network monitoring
We monitor our networks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
like in our European central Network Monitoring Center
in Amsterdam. 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. We centrally implement new software and
technology and coordinate the integration of newly-acquired
cable networks into our networks.
We monitor our networks
24 hours a day,
7 days a week –
keeping the network
futureproof is a priority.

Public policy
The importance of dialog
Governments, the European Union (EU) and European
institutions closely follow the fast-moving developments in
the communications and broadcasting industry and may
affect this sector through a range of regulations and policy
initiatives. In order to ensure that political and regulatory
decisions are taken on an informed basis and with due
account for the industry’s interests, we talk to policy-makers
at the EU level and nationally.
Partner to governments and EU institutions
We have long-term relationships with national governments
and with the European institutions. In order to fully
understand the environment in which we are investing and
to explain the benefits we bring to consumers, national- and
local economies, we engage with regulators and government
officials in an on-going, constructive dialog.
Dedicated EU and national presence
We aim to be a credible partner in public policy discussions
with national governments, the European Commission,
and Members of the European Parliament. Since 1999,
we have a permanent representative office close to the
European institutions in Brussels. In 2012, we also opened a
representative office in Berlin.
As a pan-European operator, we contribute actively to
achieving the political growth, liberalization and harmonization
objectives of the EU communication markets and firmly believe
in the positive effects of creating an internal digital market in
Europe. Cable is delivering on ambitious broadband targets set
by the European Commission’s Digital Agenda for Europe.
We are demonstrating the benefits of market consolidation
and infrastructure competition, which deliver the next
generation broadband infrastructures Europe needs and the
innovative services that European consumers want.
We are also an active member of Cable Europe, the Brussels
based trade association which represents the interests of the
entire European cable sector and various other high profile
trade associations and organizations such as the American
Chamber of Commerce and the European Internet Foundation.
In addition to our representation to the EU, in almost every
country in which we operate we have staff who are dedicated
to public policy and government affairs – people who are
firmly rooted in local communities.
We have long-term relationships
with national governments and key
European institutions.
liberty global 21
Liberty Global Public Policy Series
In 2006, we initiated a thought leadership program designed
to actively contribute to policy and regulatory debates at the
EU and national levels by commissioning objective research
projects. These ‘Liberty Global Policy Series’ studies, which
are published on a regular basis, are typically based on
in-depth analysis of industry and consumer trends and
developments in our sector, highlighting various future
scenarios involving policy and regulation. The 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, The New Rules of Openness, and the
latest study: The Value of Our Digital Identity.
Bringing growth to the European economy
With cable introducing ultra-high-speed broadband
internet over next-generation fiber networks, a new
boost to the digital economy can be expected. In order
to deliver the sustainable economic and social benefits
of broadband, the European Commission – with its
2010 ‘Digital Agenda’ – 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 for 2020 and beyond – well
ahead of time. Infrastructure competition is delivering
significant tangible benefits to consumers such as ever
increasing broadband speeds at affordable prices.
The Liberty Global Policy Series
is a thought leadership program
designed to actively contribute
to policy and regulatory debates
through reports and seminars.

Corporate
responsibility
One company, one responsibility
At Liberty Global, we believe that corporate responsibility
(CR) is good for our business and good for society. We
enable people to connect, discover, and be free in an
ever-changing digital world. These activities generate 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.
Our CR strategy has been grouped into four key areas
– promoting a digital society, building trust with our
customers, managing our environmental impacts, and being
a responsible business. Our CR Framework, that results from
engagement with our stakeholders, integrates this strategy
into our operations through a range of programs.
Promoting a digital society
In order to promote a digital society, we are helping people
develop the skills and confidence they need to get online.
We do this through a range of programs that facilitate digital
inclusion and protecting children using the internet. Working
alongside strategic partners, including governments, civil
society, and industry peers, is fundamental to our approach.
We address the challenge of digital inclusion by widening
access, enhancing skills and creating opportunities for
individuals and communities. From enabling underprivileged
families to access the internet and giving seniors the skills
they need to get online, to helping youngsters discover
science and innovation opportunities.
Across everything we do, we believe in the importance of
protecting children through education and empowerment
programs and tools. We implement protective features
embedded into our services and develop e-safety toolkits,
lessons and videos with clear information on how to reduce
the risks as well as enjoy the benefits of being online.

Building trust with our customers
Building trust starts with our customers having confidence in
our products. We aim to have our brands occupy a respected
and trusted position in the marketplace, so protecting our
customers’ personal information is a critical element of our
business. We also ensure that privacy risks are taken into
account at the design stage of every project.
Managing our environmental impacts
The environmental priorities we have identified with
our stakeholders are energy efficiency, greenhouse gas
emissions and electronic waste. We’re working on reducing
‘e-waste’ by refurbishing customer set-top boxes and
modems, and we’re optimizing the performance of our
networks and buildings so we can drive down our energy
consumption and achieve efficiency savings.
Being a responsible business
Being a responsible business begins with a commitment
to act with honesty and integrity, in accordance with
high ethical standards. Through the People Agenda, our
strategic HR roadmap, we are investing in our employees
to build a more resilient business, while implementing a
robust approach to assess the environmental and social
performance of our suppliers worldwide.
We also invest in communities directly via employees’
donations and volunteering, as well as via corporate
contributions to charitable organizations.

  • 3. We work in a dynamic industry. Digital technology is fundamentally changing the way people communicate, receive information and access entertainment. At Liberty Global, we connect people to the digital world – a world of convenience and infinite choice. Our market- leading broadband, voice, and video services put millions of customers in control, enabling them to discover and enjoy endless possibilities on their own terms, and at their own pace. We remain focused on driving technological change to improve the lives of our customers. Over the past two decades, we’ve been at the forefront of technological innovation for interactive digital television and high speed broadband services. In both areas we have concentrated on developing ground-breaking new products that exploit a key competitive advantage – our fiber-rich, broadband cable networks. For example, we recently launched our next generation media and entertainment platform, Horizon TV, which is transforming the way consumers watch television and enjoy multimedia content across a range of devices throughout the home. We also provide the fastest broadband speeds that are commercially available in most of our markets – and we plan to significantly extend our performance advantage with speed upgrades happening across most of our markets. Our historical results demonstrate consistent growth for Liberty Global, both organically and through acquisitions while maintaining a strong balance sheet and an unwavering commitment to share repurchases. In June 2013, we completed the acquisition of Virgin Media, adding a base of nearly five million customers in the United Kingdom, and solidifying our position as the world’s largest international cable company. As of June 30, our cable systems served over 24 million customers in 14 countries, including 12 in Europe. We are excited about the future, as we continue to innovate and provide our subscribers with world class products and services that enable them to, in the words of our vision statement, “Connect, Discover and Be Free.” Mike Fries Chief Executive Officer, Liberty Global Foreword

  • 8. Our role in the new multimedia world
  • 9. International scale At Liberty Global our networks span many countries. The benefits of scale allow us to compete with traditional telecom providers, which often operate at the national level and wield considerable market power. By contrast, our cable networks are regional – mainly in large cities. It‘s this advantage that enables us to apply proven best practices from one region to others. Our size makes us a strong partner for the best media technology companies in the world. We work closely with them to build a range of advanced products and services. In recent decades we’ve been an important market consolidator, especially in Europe. Scale also allows us to create sustainable businesses in a world increasingly dominated by large international media players. The world is changing rapidly, with disruptive technologies and demanding consumers forcing providers to innovate at breakneck speed. For example, with 7.000 cable operators in Europe today, this market still needs further consolidation to compete effectively. Triple play The core of our offer to our customers is ‘triple play’ – 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 – also want ease of use, simplicity, and comfort. Innovative digital services Consumers can see the potential of new digital services, yet they will only really be convinced if they have tried them out and experienced the benefits first-hand. This is why we offer our customers new products and services as rapidly as possible. We were among the first in Europe to introduce cable-based broadband internet. Other innovations soon followed, including large-scale digital telephony (VoIP) and ultra-high speed broadband internet services with speeds up to 250 Mbps and 500 Mbps soon to be launched. We call this “Fiber Power”. We’re investing in the further migration to digital television, including Digital Video Recording (DVR), Video on Demand (VoD), HDTV, and 3D TV throughout our footprint. And we have recently launched Horizon TV, our new media, and entertainment platform in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland and Germany. This transforms the way our customers watch TV and enjoy multimedia content on a range of devices in the home. Similar rich video experiences are offered through our TiVo platform in the UK and Yelo TV in Belgium. In the years ahead we will continue to improve our digital services and introduce new ones. Our innovative products provide consumers with information and entertainment on multiple devices, whenever they want. liberty global 7
  • 11. Product innovation is a core focus to strengthen our leadership position in digital video products and services. Horizon is an elegant media and entertainment platform for the home, which seamlessly integrates cable, web-based and personal content. Using a simple intuitive interface, consumers are sharing and viewing content on multiple screens and devices wirelessly anywhere in the home. Horizon puts a smart server at the heart of the digital home. This multimedia gateway sets up a wireless network that connects the TV to devices such as computers, tablets and smartphones. The TV interface uses 3D graphics and images that bring content to life and make navigating simple, fast, and seamless. It also integrates access to personal media content such as photos, music and movies stored in the home or in the cloud, enabling a rich media experience on devices both in and outside the home. Horizon does for TV what apps have done for smartphones and tablets. It’s an open, scalable, future-oriented platform. We’re working with content providers such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to develop applications for our App Store, where subscribers are offered a full range of web- based apps and widgets that are seamlessly integrated via the TV user interface. We developed Horizon with world- class technology partners, including Samsung, Cisco and Intel®. Another innovation is the development of Wifi home spots for our customers. The use of Wifi is growing fast because of the explosive uptake of smartphones and tablets. Several initiatives are on their way. We are launching WifiSpots that are enabled by the Wifi modems of our internet customers – soon many internet customers will enjoy connection to unlimited wireless internet in our cable footprint in a smart and safe way. This is a free service for all internet customers with a fast and secure connection. Also Wifi Hotspots are developed for all kinds of public places, which are delivered to customers of our Business Services entities. Mobile As smartphones and tablets have brought the internet to the mobile world, we are also moving towards quadruple play. Adding a fourth, mobile, service to the package fulfils all of the customers’ media and communication needs. In an increasing number of markets, we offer mobile services through a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) agreement with mobile network operators. We have successful operations in the UK, Belgium and Chile, with other markets catching up. Mobile services typically include telephony, SMS and internet, and customers can combine these with one or more of our other services. Horizon puts a smart server at the heart of the digital home. liberty global 9
  • 12. Business services Besides consumer products and services, we also offer a range of voice, broadband internet and data services to business customers in most of our service areas across our local fiber-based networks. Customers range from Small Office Home Office (SoHo) – generally fewer than 20 employees – to medium and large enterprises (MLE), as well as wholesale customers. A key growth area for Business Services is the SoHo segment. We offer advanced broadband internet, voice and video services, combined with Value Added Services (e.g. cloud) and dedicated Business Class Support. For medium to large enterprises, we offer network-solutions addressing their individual voice, data, and connectivity needs, e.g. customized services for hospitals and care facilities, educational institutions, government offices, and call-centers. Services include Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), webhosting, cloud solutions, audio and web conferencing, and interactive media services such as direct response and voting. Our wholesale business offers a complete range of access, voice and internet services to carriers, ISPs and mobile operators in Europe. We provide these services over our own extensive fiber-based networks, advanced data and IP network platforms and VoIP switching systems. Customer care Excellent customer care is key to our success, which is why we put so much emphasis on service innovation. We believe that by selling and marketing our services in a fair and transparent way, and by making sure our customer care service is high quality, we can retain and grow our customer base. We were one of the first companies to introduce web-care teams, which monitor social media, including web forums, blogs, and Twitter for questions and possible complaints. These teams are proactive and interactively responding to the growing number of consumers searching online for information. This service is personal and fast, often exceeding consumers' expectations. Our advanced digital media facility specializes in multi-lingual and multi-platform broadcasting in standard and high definition. 10 liberty global

  • 15. The digital home Consumers use digital services (television, internet, and telephony) more and more in a ‘triple-play bundle’ that is often provided by a single cable or telecom company. In the future, competition will intensify. Infrastructure providers are investing heavily in the quality of their networks, with important consequences for the economy and for society. At Liberty Global, we’ve invested billions of euros to ensure that our networks and support systems are future-proof. The digital home requires a reliable two-way infrastructure that has high capacity for broadband services. Most of our hybrid fiber-coax networks are superior to existing DSL, terrestrial or satellite infrastructures, particularly with regards to high- speed broadband. Technological excellence At Liberty Global we develop a lot of our own technology. The speed at which new products can be launched is crucial, and our strength lies in bringing together the right technology manufacturers and jointly developing, integrating and testing new applications and devices. We develop new products and applications with multiple suppliers using industry standards. We prefer to work in an open environment as it makes our solutions more future-proof. Working with first-class technology partners such as Cisco, Samsung, Ericsson, Intel, Nagravision, Pace, Accenture and Oracle requires considerable technological expertise, because these suppliers’ new technologies are often not directly suitable for a mass market. We have our own labs at our Amsterdam headquarters where new technologies are tested. After rigorous testing, these new technologies are integrated into existing networks by our operating companies. Increasing the intelligence of networks In the past decade, the intelligence and capacity of our cable networks have increased dramatically. We believe, in all of our markets, these truly next-generation networks are secure and future-proof. The vast majority of our networks are composed of glass fiber and, in most cases, fiber is less than 100 meters from the customer’s premises. Only the last part that connects the home to the network is coaxial cable (coax). We call these networks ‘hybrid fiber/coax’. As most of our networks consists of fiber, there's no need to replace the last length of coax with glass fiber to further increase the capacity. We deliver products and services via innovative networks that we’ve built up over the years. liberty global 13
  • 16. Since 2008, DOCSIS 3.0 next-generation broadband technology has been introduced by cable operators across the world and successfully tested at internet speeds of over 1 Gbps, more than 50 times faster than the top broadband speeds over ADSL. Our networks are fast and extremely reliable. In the event of a failure in one part of the network, there are several options for rerouting signals. The networks of our country operations are connected to our ‘Aorta’ backbone, a Tier 1 Carrier that is one of 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-friendly and gear them more to the needs of customers. For example, users can install new services without calling in a technician and the network is suitable for two-way-services, such as Video on Demand (VoD). Technology development and labs The design and architecture of the network are developed centrally. Activities in our labs vary from high-level design, which focuses on the longevity, consistency and capacity of the network as a whole, to the low-level design needed to create cable connections. We also translate new product concepts, which we develop in cooperation with leading technology suppliers, into technical requirements and then test them using open industry standards. Network monitoring We monitor our networks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, like in our European central Network Monitoring Center in Amsterdam. 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. We centrally implement new software and technology and coordinate the integration of newly-acquired cable networks into our networks. We monitor our networks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – keeping the network futureproof is a priority. 14 liberty global

  • 23. The importance of dialog Governments, the European Union (EU) and European institutions closely follow the fast-moving developments in the communications and broadcasting industry and may affect this sector through a range of regulations and policy initiatives. In order to ensure that political and regulatory decisions are taken on an informed basis and with due account for the industry’s interests, we talk to policy-makers at the EU level and nationally. Partner to governments and EU institutions We have long-term relationships with national governments and with the European institutions. In order to fully understand the environment in which we are investing and to explain the benefits we bring to consumers, national- and local economies, we engage with regulators and government officials in an on-going, constructive dialog. Dedicated EU and national presence We aim to be a credible partner in public policy discussions with national governments, the European Commission, and Members of the European Parliament. Since 1999, we have a permanent representative office close to the European institutions in Brussels. In 2012, we also opened a representative office in Berlin. As a pan-European operator, we contribute actively to achieving the political growth, liberalization and harmonization objectives of the EU communication markets and firmly believe in the positive effects of creating an internal digital market in Europe. Cable is delivering on ambitious broadband targets set by the European Commission’s Digital Agenda for Europe. We are demonstrating the benefits of market consolidation and infrastructure competition, which deliver the next generation broadband infrastructures Europe needs and the innovative services that European consumers want. We are also an active member of Cable Europe, the Brussels based trade association which represents the interests of the entire European cable sector and various other high profile trade associations and organizations such as the American Chamber of Commerce and the European Internet Foundation. In addition to our representation to the EU, in almost every country in which we operate we have staff who are dedicated to public policy and government affairs – people who are firmly rooted in local communities. We have long-term relationships with national governments and key European institutions. liberty global 21
  • 24. Liberty Global Public Policy Series In 2006, we initiated a thought leadership program designed to actively contribute to policy and regulatory debates at the EU and national levels by commissioning objective research projects. These ‘Liberty Global Policy Series’ studies, which are published on a regular basis, are typically based on in-depth analysis of industry and consumer trends and developments in our sector, highlighting various future scenarios involving policy and regulation. The 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, The New Rules of Openness, and the latest study: The Value of Our Digital Identity. Bringing growth to the European economy With cable introducing ultra-high-speed broadband internet over next-generation fiber networks, a new boost to the digital economy can be expected. In order to deliver the sustainable economic and social benefits of broadband, the European Commission – with its 2010 ‘Digital Agenda’ – 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 for 2020 and beyond – well ahead of time. Infrastructure competition is delivering significant tangible benefits to consumers such as ever increasing broadband speeds at affordable prices. The Liberty Global Policy Series is a thought leadership program designed to actively contribute to policy and regulatory debates through reports and seminars. 22 liberty global

  • 27. One company, one responsibility At Liberty Global, we believe that corporate responsibility (CR) is good for our business and good for society. We enable people to connect, discover, and be free in an ever-changing digital world. These activities generate 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. Our CR strategy has been grouped into four key areas – promoting a digital society, building trust with our customers, managing our environmental impacts, and being a responsible business. Our CR Framework, that results from engagement with our stakeholders, integrates this strategy into our operations through a range of programs. Promoting a digital society In order to promote a digital society, we are helping people develop the skills and confidence they need to get online. We do this through a range of programs that facilitate digital inclusion and protecting children using the internet. Working alongside strategic partners, including governments, civil society, and industry peers, is fundamental to our approach. We address the challenge of digital inclusion by widening access, enhancing skills and creating opportunities for individuals and communities. From enabling underprivileged families to access the internet and giving seniors the skills they need to get online, to helping youngsters discover science and innovation opportunities. Across everything we do, we believe in the importance of protecting children through education and empowerment programs and tools. We implement protective features embedded into our services and develop e-safety toolkits, lessons and videos with clear information on how to reduce the risks as well as enjoy the benefits of being online.

  • 29. Building trust with our customers Building trust starts with our customers having confidence in our products. We aim to have our brands occupy a respected and trusted position in the marketplace, so protecting our customers’ personal information is a critical element of our business. We also ensure that privacy risks are taken into account at the design stage of every project. Managing our environmental impacts The environmental priorities we have identified with our stakeholders are energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions and electronic waste. We’re working on reducing ‘e-waste’ by refurbishing customer set-top boxes and modems, and we’re optimizing the performance of our networks and buildings so we can drive down our energy consumption and achieve efficiency savings. Being a responsible business Being a responsible business begins with a commitment to act with honesty and integrity, in accordance with high ethical standards. Through the People Agenda, our strategic HR roadmap, we are investing in our employees to build a more resilient business, while implementing a robust approach to assess the environmental and social performance of our suppliers worldwide. We also invest in communities directly via employees’ donations and volunteering, as well as via corporate contributions to charitable organizations.
