My perception:
Because they're commercial content providers, not alternative/experimental  
scene. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Indeed - Brussels - Cybertheatre - have a look at their site and you'll
get an impression of the things they're really interested in.
http://www.nirvanet.com/cybertheatre/
For the four partybus netcasts last month, we (well- I was not the one who
decided that...) had a contract with them about providing us the necessary
tech equipment, but the last broadcast had to be cancelled at the
last minute because they broke that agreement - we were just not
interesting (read: marketable) enough for them, I suppose :(
Any more Belgians on this list who are interested in putting up an
alternative, independent server so that things like this can be avoided
in the future? :)

Lots of greetings and support to everyone in Berlin right now,
Fokky.
