“We provide an outstanding value proposition to broadcasters and programmers wishing to enter Western Europe. The Intelsat 905 satellite is ideal for a quick and economical channel launch. All broadcasters need to provide are the content and subscriber relationships,” said Juliet Bayliss, Director of Broadcast Services, GlobeCast U.K. “After that, GlobeCast provides a turnkey package including uplink, multiplex, conditional access and space segment.”

"This platform reflects our continuing interest in growing our Western European presence," said Jean Philippe Gillet, Intelsat’s Regional Vice President, Europe & Middle East Sales. “The Intelsat 905 satellite’s Ku-band spot beam provides powerful coverage over all the countries in Western Europe and is ideally suited to allow South Asian ethnic broadcasters to establish new DTH communities in a competitive region.”
