The maneuver aims to establish TBS\u2019 inclined-orbit operations for satellite services in the Middle East. The operator said it plans to initiate commercial operations from the satellite soon.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; TSB said it concluded that the satellite was no longer required at 1 degree West either to support services or to provide operational flexibility following the transition of traffic from Thor 3 to Thor 6. As a result, the company decided to move the satellite to 4 degrees West, an orbital position for which it holds a filing for BSS frequencies.<\/p>\n<h2>Related Stories-<\/h2>\n<p>\n<b class=\"titlelink\">Eurosport 3-D Channel Launch Depends on Multiple  Satellite Platform<\/b>&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"12\" height=\"14\" align=\"top\" src=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/images\/icon_lock.gif\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tSatellite News&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tMay 31, 2010<br \/>\n[05-31-10] Eurosport will only  launch a commercial 3-D TV channel in the next year if it is able to do  so on multiple satellite pay-TV platforms, Eurosport General Director of  Distribution and Development Jean-Thierry Augustin told\u2026<\/p>\n<p><b class=\"titlelink\">Viasat Signs IPTV Distribution Deal with Telenor<\/b>&nbsp;&nbsp;  \t\t\tSatellite Today&nbsp;&nbsp; \t\t\tMarch 8, 2010<br \/>\n[03-08-10] Viasat Broadcasting  signed an IPTV distribution deal with Telenor, Viasat announced March  3.
