Planet Internet is one of the largest internet service providers (ISPs) in the Netherlands. Planet Internet is a brand of the Planet Media Group, which is a subsidiary of KPN.
Planet Internet opened office in 1995, offering services such as internet access and content. In 1997 the company merged with World Access (that also was founded in 1995) changing its name to 'World Access/Planet Internet'. The renaming was redone in 1999, though the joint company was not split up once more.
In the same year, the holding company of Planet Internet, Videotex Nederland NV, was given the new name of 'Planet Media Group NV'. In 1999 the KPN-service Het Net became part of the Planet Media Group.
Independent from the Dutch company, KPN also maintained a Belgian branch of Planet Internet, called 'Planet Internet België'. In early 2003, this company was sold to Scarlet.
