MUMBAI: Orange TV is planning to strengthen its hold on the French market with its triple play offer (telephone, Internet, TV) from 3 July. Orange TV is expecting to reach 24 million French households (98.3 per cent of the mainland population).
|
Orange TV has recently signed an agreement with Eutelsat to extend its offer. Up until now, broadband TV technology only enabled half of France‘s households to benefit from the offer. With the new combined ADSL-satellite technology, Orange TV programmes will be available to virtually all French households. |

At the MIPTV 2008 event in Cannes, Orange confirmed the selection of two orbital positions for Eutelsat Hot Bird and Atlantic Bird3 to handle the satellite broadcasting of the TV flow reception of its triple play offer, where this is not accessible via ADSL. Globecast will handle the encoding, encrypting and transmission of the Orange TV channels. |
