New Zealand's ANZ Teleport and Broadcast has chosen to use the Intelsat platform for its new direct-to-home television service.
Under the multi-year agreement, Intelsat will provide ANZ Teleport with capacity on the IS-8 satellite, which has high performance coverage of ANZ's initial targeted service region in New Zealand.
The IS-8 can also distribute DTH programming to other South Pacific nations as ANZ's business grows.
