SES Global, Europe's largest satellite company, will lease a new satellite to EchoStar Communications, which plans to use it to broadcast many premium television channels and to offer high-speed Internet service.

The new satellite is being built and is scheduled to be shot into space in the third quarter of 2004. Further terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Satellite broadcasters are pushing to compete with cable operators to provide high-speed Internet access as well as premium programming from HBO and local TV.

See the Broadband News Section for the latest on cable modems, ADSL, satellite and other high-speed access technologies, including a comprehensive guide to the best deals out there.

Let the editors know what you think in the Mailroom.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
