The companies will launch SkyDSL2 Plus in mid-2011 following Ka-Sat\u2019s entry into service and will be provided on an international basis in Germany, Spain, France, Italy and Ireland.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Eutelsat\u2019s Director of Multimedia and Value-Added Services Arduino Patacchini said that Ka-Sat\u2019s entry into service will change the operator\u2019s business model and that a slew of take-up contracts could make a second Ka-band satellite launch a reality.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cWe don\u2019t know what will happen with the take-up of capacity on Ka-Sat. We are assuming the consumption of bandwidth will increase,\u201d he said. \u201cIf the capacity fills very quickly, the option to create the second Ka-Sat is there. The speed is comparable for ASDL2. But, we would look to a second satellite. We have the orbital position. One of the advantages is Ka-Sat is that it covers all of Europe. We need to make sure the business works, before we make another investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>\nRelated Stories-<\/h2>\n<p><b class=\"titlelink\">Telesat Receives High Scores in WTA Teleport Operator Satisfaction Survey<\/b>&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tMarch 25, 2011<br \/>\n[03-25-11] Teleport operators  were less satisfied with the commercial performance of their satellite  vendors than with their operational performance and saw the need for  improvement in many areas, according to the World Teleport\u2026<\/p>\n<p><b class=\"titlelink\">SES World Skies Signs Two Enterprise Capacity Deals<\/b>&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" align=\"top\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" src=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/images\/ico_bluekey.gif\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tMarch 17, 2011<br \/>\n[03-17-11] Axesat has  leased two transponders aboard SES World Skies AMC-4 satellite to  provide business voice, data and Internet access services to companies  in Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Central America and the\u2026<\/p>\n<p><b class=\"titlelink\">Tachyon Leases Eutelsat Sesat 2 Capacity for Southwest Asia<\/b>&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tMarch 16, 2011<br \/>\n[03-16-11] Tachyon Networks is  expanding its broadband capacity over Southwest Asia after signing a  Ku-band capacity lease on Eutelsat\u2019s Sesat 2 satellite, the operator  announced March 15.
