Satellite

 

Our approach to the Satellite Industry

We believe that the combination of terrestrial broadband network rollouts and rising concerns over the digital divide are creating new market opportunities for the satellite industry. Alleviating the load on the backbones, bundling TV with internet access and serving the mass market in emerging countries have proven to be efficient strategies, while the switch to high-definition/3D will give a boost to satellite’s core TV broadcasting business.
