Eutelsat has been selected by United Group, the South-East European provider of telecommunications and media services, to consolidate its broadcasting activities at two of Eutelsat's flagship video hotspots. Following an RFI to satellite operators to optimise the efficiency of its operations, United Group awarded Eutelsat the contract for its entire DTH portfolio. Under the multi-year, multi-transponder deal, which will consolidate the totality of its broadcast activities on Eutelsat assets, United Group is renewing its commitment with incremental capacity to accommodate both existing and new television platforms that will be joining the Eutelsat video neighbourhood. Eutelsat reaches 70 per cent of satellite households in Central and Eastern Europe from its European video hotspots.
