“In België zijn we met een aantal dingen zeer succesvol, we kijken of dat hier ook kan. Zoals prepaid mobiel, een video downloading service, digitale televisie, nieuwssites, classifieds, maar ook sportspellen. Vorig jaar hebben we daarmee zo’n 45 miljoen euro netto digitale business gedraaid, waarvan 60 procent advertising. Dat is hier veel minder maar we zijn ook pas net begonnen.”
