...Eutelsat Communications for a new satellite broadcasting platform dubbed Global TV. The company has signed a multi-year lease for capacity on the Eutelsat 36B satellite, using the widebeam footprint that provides premium coverage of Georgia, surrounding regions and Western Europe. JSC Global Contact Consulting will initiate satellite broadcasting this month, starting with four free-to-air (FTA) channels and progressively expanding to include both Georgian and international channels. To accelerate access to the new platform, JSC plans to install several thousand dishes across Georgia over the next two years that will be pointed to Eutelsat 36B at 36 degrees East.
