Tiscali & Eutelsat Prep Satellite Service
Posted: 15th May, 2003 By: MarkJ
UK ISP Tiscali has announced a new partnership with Eutelsat, which will allow the provider to offer a one-way broadband Satellite service through Eutelsats OPENSKY platform:
TISCALI AND EUTELSAT PARTNER TO PROVIDE PAN-EUROPEAN BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS VIA SATELLITE
Tiscali, the European Internet Communication Company, and Eutelsat, Europes leading satellite operator, announced today a partnership agreement whereby Tiscali will provide its European subscribers with one-way Satellite Fast Internet Access through Eutelsats OPENSKYä platform.
Thanks to this agreement, Tiscali will widen its Satellite product portfolio with the one-way satellite Internet service catered for a wider audience both in terms of functionality and pricing. This new offer follows the two-way Satellite broadband Internet service developed for high-skilled business users, which Tiscali launched as one of the first operators in Europe.
With this new offer Tiscali aims at reaching residential subscribers located in areas not covered by broadband ADSL or cable network through a hybrid technology. In Europe at least 50 per cent of the territory and 25 per cent of the overall population will remain out of reach of these terrestrial broadband networks, corresponding to a potential 25 million homes (Source: Eutelsat).
The roll-out of the new Tiscali Satellite Internet offer is scheduled to take off in the upcoming weeks in all 15 countries of the Tiscali Network.
This agreement is a big step forward for affordable and ubiquitously available broadband services for the European consumer market, said Giuliano Berretta, Eutelsat CEO. By marrying Eutelsats OPENSKY technology with Tiscalis proven expertise and very dynamic market presence in Europe, millions of homes beyond reach of terrestrial broadband access will be able to gain access to broadband services. Through the addition of a Europewide satellite coverage to its existing network Tiscali is now in a unique position for offering a seamless service at pan-European level to all users irrespective of their location.
Tiscali is strongly committed to the development of the broadband market in Europe. Satellite services are a big opportunity to serve Fast Internet connection easily and at low rates also in those areas where traditional broadband services are not available," said Renato Soru, Tiscali Chairman and CEO.
Details on pricing have yet to emerge, although its probably safe to assume that the cost will be similar to what other OpenSky based ISPs have been offering.
