The Company

Growing Through Innovation in Digital TV, Internet and Telephony

Unitymedia is the second largest cable operator in Germany as measured by the number of video subscribers and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Global Inc. The Unitymedia brand is underpinned by a broad product portfolio which encompasses high-quality media offerings and access to the world of innovative telecommunications: The broad choice offered by analog and digital TV and radio, attractive pay TV offerings, flatrate telephony packages and surfing the internet at high speed.

Unitymedia operates an integrated cable network, that passes 8.7 million homes in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, one of Europe’s largest conurbation, which generates around one third of Germany’s total GDP. This interconnected infrastructure was created by uniting the cable operators ish in North Rhine-Westphalia and iesy in Hesse in 2005 to form the Unitymedia Group, into which the activities of the provider Telecolumbus West were also integrated. In May 2007, the existing brands were also unified under the name Unitymedia, which stands for a high value triple play product portfolio and superior customer experience. Since January 2010, Unitymedia is part of the Liberty Global family. Liberty Global is the leading international cable operator offering advanced video, voice and broadband internet services and operating state-of-the-art networks across 14 countries principally located in Europe, Chile, and Australia. Liberty Global’s operations also include significant programming businesses such as Chellomedia in Europe.

Unitymedia supplies 4.6 million customers with media and telecommunications services. Thanks to a focused investment strategy, the majority of the infrastructure is up to the latest technical standard, with a technical bandwidth of up to 5 GB per second. The Unitymedia network is already one of the largest and most modern interconnected broadband cable networks and is an ideal platform for further interactive value-added services.

A growing customer base combines broadband internet, flat rate telephony and digital TV from a single provider – Unitymedia is therefore a market leader for Triple Play in its regions. Compared with the existing analog offering, digital TV in particular offers far greater choice and next generation TV experience – such as attractive digital TV packages, high definition TV and digital video recording.

Led by a highly experienced management team with both in-depth knowledge of the German market and extensive international experience across broadband cable, media and telecommunications, Unitymedia is well positioned for future growth at the forefront of Germany´s telecommunications industry.
