LONDON (Alliance News) - Satellite Solutions Worldwide Group PLC on Monday said it has signed an agreement with telecommunications giant BT Group PLC to become one of the satellite broadband retail service providers under a new government scheme.
The scheme, under which the government will roll-out subsidised satellite broadband services to homes and businesses in the UK, will see the government provide funding for the capital cost of the dish and modern equipment, connection fees and installation.
"We are delighted to be working with BT and a number of other satellite parties to extend the reach of high-speed broadband in the UK. The UK Government's scheme both removes the barrier-to-entry cost for customer on the acquisition of the kit, and at the same times increases our addressable market in the UK," said Andrew Walwyn, Satellite Solutions' chief executive.
