OSLO, Norway and ROCKVILLE, MD, Aug. 10/Satnews Daily/ — Telenor
Satellite Services has received approval from the Brazilian government
to begin offering Inmarsat satellite services directly to service
providers and their customers throughout Brazil. The official announcement appeared in the Diário Oficial da União, the official government record publication of the Brazilian government on July 25, according to Telenor. The negotiations process for the service began in 2002 with Inmarsat, Embratel, and the Brazilian government to authorize Telenor to sell directly to service providers and their customers in Brazil. Prior to the approval, Telenor Satellite Services was able to sell Inmarsat service in country only through state-sponsored service provider Embratel. Tore Hilde, chief executive officer of Telenor Satellite Services, said Telenor can now offer its complete portfolio of 'on demand' Inmarsat satellite services to service providers in Brazil and their customers needing reliable communications on land, at sea, and while in flight. To meet the anticipated sales growth in Brazil, Telenor said it has already established an office in Rio de Janeiro.
