Safe satellite launch set to boost Foxtel offering
In a result that will come as a major relief for Foxtel, the launch of the Optus D3 satellite in French Guiana went off without a hitch over the weekend.
The launch will allow Foxtel to provide around 30 further channels later this year.
Foxtel CEO Kim Williams said: “Once successful testing is complete over the coming months, the new satellite will empower us to offer our customers even more choice, new services, increased flexibility and even greater value.
“The next generation of Foxtel digital will offer customers 30 additional channels, including 10 additional HD channels, enhanced navigation features, and significantly more interactive and on demand features,” he added.
