In December 2013, the Netherlands had the second-highest number of<br />

broadband connections per 100 inhabitants in the world. Almost<br />

every household in the Netherlands can be reached by a cable or<br />

DSL connection. With the world’s largest digital data distributor, the<br />

Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX), the Netherlands also has an<br />

outstanding data connection network, which is essential for businesses<br />

such as banks, insurers, internet-based companies and computer and<br />

advertising companies.<br />
