  • 2013-11-13 SES Comcast
    Press release COMCAST RENEWS AND EXPANDS CAPACITY AGREEMENT WITH SES Luxembourg, 13 November 2013 – SES (NYSE Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) today announced that Comcast Wholesale has renewed and expanded key agreements for nearly 650 MHz of C-band capacity to deliver a broad range of content management and delivery solutions to media companies across North America. As part of the multi-year deal, Comcast Wholesale continues to utilize 16 transponders aboard the AMC-18 satellite and one transponder on the AMC-1 spacecraft and has contracted one additional transponder on this spacecraft. The capacity enables Comcast to provide cable programmers, multiple system operators and independent cable operators access to linear and on-demand content distribution solutions, including Comcast’s HITS (Headend in the Sky) platform. The Comcast Media Center on-demand programming distribution will be transitioned from AMC-1 to the new SES-3 satellite in 2014. SES-1 at 101 degrees West, AMC-1 at 103 degrees West and AMC-18 at 105 degrees West make up SES's expanding cable video distribution neighborhood at their locations in the center of the arc over North America. AMC-18 has played an integral role supporting the HITS platform since 2007, when Comcast Wholesale moved its innovative platform from Ku-band to C-band. “This agreement marks the latest milestone in a long-term, collaborative partnership between Comcast Wholesale and SES that has always strived to meet the evolving needs and demands of the media and entertainment industry,” explained Ferdinand Kayser, Chief Commercial Officer of SES. “Comcast Wholesale has long been an engine for innovation for the cable industry with its HITS solution aimed at helping independent operators compete in a fiercely contested market.

  • Telecom Regulatory Authority of India SOME RECENT RECOMMENDATIONS
    Telecom Regulatory Authority of India SOME RECENT RECOMMENDATIONS TRAI Recommendations on 3rd Phase of Private FM Radio Broadcasting1 TRAI released its Recommendations on the 3rd Phase of Private FM Radio Broadcasting on 22 February 2008. The salient features of the recommendations are summarized below. The Authority recommended the following: Regulatory Issues • The geographical basis for Private FM Radio bidding in future may be changed from City to District. • The bidding process will remain the same as envisaged in the policy on expansion of FM Radio broadcasting service through private agencies (Phase-II) dated 13 July 2005. • The channels available in a district shall be auctioned to eligible bidders and shall be allocated to successful bidders in descending order of bid price. • In case any private FM Radio broadcast is functional in any part of the district, the concerned operator/licensee may be given the option to enlarge the area of operation within three months from the date of finalisation of the bid for that district, to enable the same channel to provide coverage to full district after paying difference in maximum bid price determined through the auction for the district. • The reserve One Time Entry Fee (OTEF) shall be re-fixed based on the maximum bidding price through the auction for the district or a similar district in the state. Annual fee for the district will now be determined considering revised reserve OTEF. • The bidding for the remaining 97 channels of Phase-II scheduled on the city as operational area shall be rescheduled considering the district as operational area. • Number of channels for FM Radio broadcast in Category A+, A, B, C cities, now changed to districts basis, may be restored as envisaged in Phase-II, subject to technical feasibility.

Suite 700 October 29, 2018 Washington, DC 20001 Executive Summary Now is a particularly important time for spectrum policy, as greenfield spectrum for new applications is increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to find. At the same time, spectrum demand is increasing, so the Commission’s efforts to allocate additional spectrum for licensed and unlicensed purposes is prudent. As the Commission looks to more intensively utilize spectrum, it should rely on a paradigm that: (1) puts unused spectrum to work; (2) puts underutilized spectrum to more efficient work; and (3) where there is intensive incumbent use, creates careful solutions to enable additional uses, while protecting consumers’ use of existing services.

  • Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Consultation Paper on Headend-In-The-Sky
    Consultation Paper No. 08/2007 Telecom Regulatory Authority of India Consultation Paper on Headend-In-The-Sky (HITS) New Delhi: July 24, 2007 Mahanagar Doorsanchar Bhawan Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg New Delhi- 110 002 Preface 1. Over the last few years, the number of channels being offered on cable television has rapidly multiplied. Digitalisation will enable carriage of more number of channels over cable. Digital transmission offers a number of advantages over analogue transmission. These include better reception quality, increased channel carrying capacity, new features such as programme guides, multi view, interactive services as well as potential to provide triple play: voice, video and data. The television production/broadcasting is mostly digital. At few places, digital technology is being used also for distribution. 2. Recently, Conditional Access System (CAS) has rolled out in some area of Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. Earlier, in Chennai, the Multi System Operators (MSOs) have also put in place the digital headends to meet the demands of CAS. A Group on Digitalization and Voluntary CAS has recently submitted a report emphasizing the need to push CAS in 55 more cities apart from four metros. If this is to be achieved in the conventional way, then it would require setting up of digital headends by each MSO separately for each city or for a group of neighbouring cities. 3. Headend In the Sky (HITS) is another delivery platform to distribute the signals straight to the cable operators to meet the requirement of CAS in consumer interest. This has the advantage of spreading CAS and digitalisation throughout the country at one go because of the country-wide footprints of HITS.

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: In the Matter of Applications of Comcast Corporation, General Electric Company and NBC Universal, Inc. for Consent to Assign Licenses or Transfer Control of Licensees, MB Docket No. 10-56 Dear Ms. Dortch: On November 19, 2010, the undersigned of Comcast Corporation met with John Flynn, Senior Counsel to the Chairman for Transactions, regarding the above-captioned proceeding. We discussed generally the video transport and video aggregation businesses, what companies provide each of these services, and in what markets these services are provided. We also discussed the status of the record with respect to the arguments raised by Avail-TVN regarding Comcast Media Center (“CMC”) and iN DEMAND, and Applicants’ responses, including the following: • The transport, video-on-demand, and pay-per-view businesses are highly competitive. Comcast has neither the incentive nor the ability to harm competition in any of those businesses. • CMC does not control access to the programming it transports. MVPDs using CMC’s Headend in the Sky (“HITS”) transport services typically enter into separate contracts with programmers that give the MVPDs the rights to distribute the programming to their customers. The programmers, not CMC, typically control contractual access to their programming. • Comcast’s programming networks are available for transport by Avail-TVN and other competitors. Comcast makes its owned-and-operated networks available to CMC, Avail- TVN, and EchoStar for transport to MVPDs, and also makes these networks available via direct feeds to MVPDs.

  • Is It Time to Outsource Your TV Service?
    Is it time to outsource your TV service? By Kerry Travilla VP Technology, MobiTV and Bill Routt COO, MobiTV Is it time to outsource your TV service? Executive Summary: This paper outlines the mounting pressures pay TV providers are facing to evolve their TV service from legacy multicast QAM/IP to unicast IP. Key takeaways from this paper include highlights of the daunting capital costs pay TV providers face when making that transition internally, and potential paths that assist in taking existing TV services to the cloud, with an application- based approach that delivers a rich new set of user experiences without requiring a large infrastructure investment. Introduction Traditional pay TV operators are facing pressure from consumers, regulators, and technology trends to revamp their approach for delivering in-home viewing experiences. Making these changes can lead to large capital expenditures which can be difficult to justify with the typical margins on pay TV services. The maturation of retail “Set-Top Box (STB)” devices (AppleTV, Roku, Amazon Fire, Android TV, gaming consoles, et al) creates an opportunity for transitioning to IP delivery of TV services through a managed service (TV SaaS) approach aimed at significantly reducing capital expenditure in favor of a more profitable and scalable business model. Pressure to Change Traditional Pay TV operators continue to face pressure from consumers, regulators, over-the-top (OTT) competitors (e.g. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Showtime, HBO, Sony Vue, Sling TV and others) and new technology trends (e.g. 4K video and virtual reality) to revamp their approach to delivering in-home viewing experiences.
