VOO (/vuː/) is the commercial name of the Belgiancable company created by the Economic Interest Group (EIG) ofBrutélé GIE in (Brussels Region andCharleroi Region) andAssociation Liégeoise d'Electricité (A.L.E.- Télédis), but came to be controlled by Nethys SA and Brutélé SCRL[1][2] until 2023.
Then two companies together bought eightWallooncable companies (Igeho, Inatel, Intermosane, Seditel, Simogel, Telelux, Interest-Interost et Ideatel), and the EIG constitutes today the primary cable operator inWallonia and a part in theBrussels Region. It offers mobile telephony using theTelenet network.[3]
In November 2021, Orange Belgium is now chosen to take over the company, winning against Telenet. A board meeting of Enodia was held on 14 December to validate or reject the decision of the board of Nethys. Thereafter, it will take several months for Orange Belgium to obtain the approval of the Competition Council and the European Commission,[4] which must announce its decision by 6 December 2022.[5]
On 5 June 2023, the Belgian unit of the French company completed the acquisition of the controlling stake in VOO.[6]
