Eutelsat saw its revenues in the quarter ended September grow by 11.6% year-on-year to €226.7 million.
Those for video applications, which account for the lion’s share (71.9%) of the total, rose by 8.5% to €166.7 million, driven by the take-up of digital TV in emerging markets and the growth of HDTV.
As of the end of September, Eutelsat’s fleet broadcast a total of 3,329 channels. Those in HD rose by over 60% during the quarter to reach over 100, and the operator now distributes over 40% of all HDTV channels available in Europe, Russia and the Middle East.
