Interactive Technologies PLC is working in an enhanced co-operation with EUTELSAT SA, France, which is the biggest satellite operator in Europe. Two-thirds of the world population can receive a signal via its 23 satellites. 7 additional satellites are under construction and they will be soon launched. The most remarkable series of them are "HOT BIRD" at 13° Е and "W2" at 16° Е covering all the territory of Europe, North Africa, The Near East and the European part of Russia with extremely qualitative and strong signal of their transmitters. These satellites give the possibility of more than 200 million people to receive global information and cultural diversity through TV and Internet.
          There is not any other satellite system over Europe which has such a compact and good covering. That determines the possibility of the satellites "HOT BIRD" and "W2" to be watched at the same time through not so expensive system, including a double LMB, a satellite antenna not more than 80 cm of width and a digital receiver of more than 200 free-to-air digital TV programs, 210 free-to-air radio programs, more than 650 scrambled TV programs in different bouquets and more than 350 scrambled radio programs. There is no country in Europe which is not presented by its TV programs. There is no user in the area possessing some digital device who can not watch the programs, received via the "EUTELSAT" satellites, especially these ones of HOTBIRD.
