LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2007/Satnews Daily/ — Hughes Network Systems, LLC has announced that the number of HughesNet small business and residential subscribers surpassed 325,000 during the fourth quarter of 2006, an 18 percent growth over the same period in 2005, demonstrating continued steady growth in satellite broadband subscriptions among underserved consumers.
“There are a considerable number of people in communities across the country who still are unable to receive high-speed Internet access through cable, DSL, or other terrestrial means,” said Max Engel, Satellite and Broadband analyst at Frost & Sullivan. In 2006, the company successfully transitioned to the broadband satellite HughesNet brand and launched a new subscriber platform and service plans, offering subscribers enhanced quality, speeds and performance.
“The continued growth in our subscriber base is a testament to the service quality we are delivering today,” said Mike Cook, senior vice president of Hughes. “By focusing on our customers' needs and service innovation, we are satisfying our subscribers and further solidifying our position as the leader in the satellite broadband market.”
