Casema
Casema (Centrale Antenne Systemen Exploitatie Maatschappij) was a major Dutch provider of cable television, internet and telephone services until the merger with Multikabel and @Home to Ziggo on May 16, 2008. The company was mainly active in and around the cities of Den Haag, Amersfoort, Utrecht, Amstelveen, and Breda.
Casema was founded on January 7, 1970 and was at that time mainly concerned with cable television. Until 1998, it was owned by KPN (75%) and the Dutch the Netherlands Public Broadcasting (25%). The company was then sold to France Télécom, who in turn sold Casema to the Carlyle Group, GMT Communications and Providence Equity Partners in 2003.
In July 2006, Cinven and Warburg Pincus purchased the company for €2.1 billion. The new owners also bought Multikabel and Essent Kabelcom (@home), two other cable companies. From May 16, 2008 the three companies were merged to form Ziggo.
At the time of the merger, Casema had approximately 1.4 million customers. The merged company has approximately 3.3 million customers.

by: ChiasmYou see inside
You see inside
You read my mind
You read my mind
You survived a hellish dream
Now the light can mend the seams
But your will wraps tight around
Watch the sky come crashing down
You breathe
Believe
You touch
Won't face I need you so much
Embrace
Encase
I fear
Your love for me is so clear
You survived a hellish dream
Now the light can mend the seams
But your will wraps tight around
Watch the sky come crashing down
I arrived on foreign land
With no one to hold my hand
But my guide came shining through
From the fog alone stood you
A love that's so defined
You'll never wake the newness that can be
A happiness so kind
Mistaken for seductive falsity
You breathe
Believe
You touch
Won't face I need you so much
Embrace
Encase
I fear
Your love for me is so clear
A love that's so defined
You'll never wake the newness that can be
A happiness so kind
Mistaken for seductive falsity
Just knowing that you're mine
Erases all reverse complexity
The emptiness unwinds
An unexpected flexibility
You survived a hellish dream
Now the light can mend the seams
But your will wraps tight around
