Gold Member Username: EvadelparaisoPuerto Rico Post Number: 1275 Registered: May-06 | Turner, DISH Deliver Ford It's another car-maker/advertising deal for Turner Media Group and EchoStar. Turner Media Group said on Wednesday the Ford Motor Company is giving nearly 12 million interactive TV subscribers of EchoStar's DISH Network a chance to see the 2007 Ford Mustang and Fusion and Five Hundred sedans through an interactive advertising campaign. From now through mid July, the Ford iTV ad campaign will showcase the Mustang, which is debuting this summer. The "i-Ad" features more than 15 different screens to reveal styles, colors and accessories for the Mustang including the coupe, convertible and pony package. The i-Ad also gives viewers a first look at Ford's 2007 sedans: Fusion, Five Hundred, Freestyle and Focus. Developed by DISH Network and Turner Media Group, Ford's iTV campaign consists of 30-second TV spots scheduled to run across dozens of networks that link viewers via an on-screen pop-up message, or "trigger," to an i-Ad or web-like environment. Once viewing the ad consumers can do the following: Request a free ring tone of the signature sound of a Mustang engine or wallpaper for a mobile phone, view a gallery of photos of Mustang and Ford sedan series of cars, request a brochure for a Ford car, locate a local Ford dealer, and enter the Ford i-Ad through banners on the DISH Home, Shopping portals, or by interacting with a Ford Mustang television spot. |

Cavossa said satellite communications play a critical though often unseen role in the U.S. economy and contribute more than $90 billion to the global economy. He added, "Given this reliance on commercial satellite communications, during the last five years the satellite industry has spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars working with the federal government to ensure the security and reliability of our systems." The SIA exec said a national commercial satellite communications policy should emphasize commercial satellite systems to meet the unclassified communications needs of the U.S. government. He also said the nation should maintain satellite technology development programs, improve U.S. export control laws for satellites, preserve and protect satellite spectrum from harmful interference, and support the development and deployment of innovative satellite technologies and services. |

Gold Member Username: EvadelparaisoPuerto Rico Post Number: 1278 Registered: May-06 | SIA: Sat Industry Revs Grow to $88.8 Billion The Satellite Industry Association's annual "State of the Satellite Industry Report" released this week found the global commercial satellite industry generated $88.8 billion in revenue in 2005, an increase of 7.4 percent when compared to 2004 industry-wide revenues. Industry revenues were led by the satellite services sector, which has grown to more than $52 billion and accounted for nearly 60 percent of total industry revenues last year. The numbers represent an increase of 45 percent of the total in 2000 and 53.6 percent in 2003. As expected, the services sector was dominated by DTH, which accounted for $41.3 billion, more than half the entire industry's revenues, SIA said. Global satellite manufacturing revenues, at $7.8 billion in 2005, declined by 24 percent when compared to 2004, attributed to fewer government contracts, the association said. In 2005, government payloads accounted for 71 percent of manufacturing revenues, compared to 82 percent in 2004. U.S. satellite manufacturing revenues were $3.2 billion, or 41 percent of the total, a dramatic reduction from 2000 when U.S. revenues were $6 billion and 51 percent of the global total, SIA said. Launch industry revenues for 2005 increased 7 percent, up to $3 billion, of which 50 percent were attributed to U.S. launch companies. Driven largely by new technologies and capabilities among consumer services such as DTH and satellite radio, the satellite ground equipment sector grew 11 percent in 2005, accounting for $25.2 billion in revenue, SIA said. |

Gold Member Username: EvadelparaisoPuerto Rico Post Number: 1279 Registered: May-06 | EchoStar: One-Dish Deadline Met By Ted Hearn, STAFF (Multichannel News) _ EchoStar Communications Corp. said Wednesday that it has met the federally mandated June 8 deadline to ensure that consumers may receive their local TV signals on a single reception dish. In December 2004, Congress passed a law giving EchoStar just 18 months to end the practice of requiring consumers to obtain second dishes in order to view all analog local TV signals. The Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004, also called the W. J. (Billy) Tauzin Satellite Television Act of 2004, didn't ban a second dish if all analog local TV signals could be received on the second dish. Instead, the law banned splitting up local TV signals so that more that one dish was needed. Regarding digital signals, the 2004 satellite law allowed EchoStar and DirecTV Inc. to require a second dish to receive all local digital-TV signals. It need not be the same dish used to receive analog local TV signals. "We did meet the deadline," EchoStar spokesman Kathie Gonzalez said. EchoStar -- the No. 2 direct-broadcast satellite provider, with 12.2 million subscribers -- had about 37 two-dish markets. DirecTV didn't have any. While Congress debated the bill, EchoStar claimed that complying with a one-dish rule within one year would cost about $100 million. Congress decided to tack on another six months to accommodate EchoStar's concerns. Before passage of the SHERVA, several TV-station groups filed complaints with the Federal Communications Commission, alleging that EchoStar's two-dish policy violated the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999. On Wednesday, EchoStar told the FCC in a filing that it had complied with the one-dish rule and asked that pending complaints be dismissed as moot. "EchoStar is happy to report that as of June 1, 2006, it has transitioned all two-dish local markets to a same-dish offering, primarily by use of its newly launched EchoStar 10 spot-beam satellite," the company said. "As a result, all EchoStar subscribers are now receiving (and will be able to continue to receive) all of their local stations using the same dish, in accordance with the one-dish requirements under the SHVERA," the company added. The National Association of Broadcasters, which lobbied for the one-dish rule, is planning to verify EchoStar's claims. "We'll be very interested in reviewing the EchoStar filing," NAB spokesman Dennis Wharton said. Copyright The Associated Press 2006. All Rights Reserved |
