Netherlands
Scarlet was established in The Netherlands in 1992 as an independent ISP and telephony provider. It was acquired by Belgacom Group in 2008.{{Cite web | url=http://www.belgacom.com/group/gallery/content/shared/PressRelease/2008_02_15_scarlet_en.pdf | date=2008-02-15 | title=Belgacom acquires Scarlet | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707222910/http://www.belgacom.com/group/gallery/content/shared/PressRelease/2008_02_15_scarlet_en.pdf | archive-date=7 July 2011 }} It was rebranded Stipte ('Punctual' in Dutch) after a management buy-out in June 2014.{{cite web|website=verandervanprovider.nl|title=Scarlet wordt Stipte |language=nl |trans-title=Scarlet becomes Stipte |url=http://www.verandervanprovider.nl/nieuws/scarlet_wordt_stipte|access-date=10 July 2014}}{{cite web |url=http://www.stipte.nl/nl/overscarlet/5172-management-buy-out-en-koerswijziging-scarlet |title=Management buy-out en koerswijziging Scarlet |date=30 May 2014 |publisher=Stipte |language=nl |trans-title=Management buy-out and change of direction Scarlet |access-date=2016-12-16 |archive-date=20 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220131832/http://www.stipte.nl/nl/overscarlet/5172-management-buy-out-en-koerswijziging-scarlet |url-status=dead }} From then on, Belgacom permanently divested its Dutch operations.
