Denver, Colorado—WildBlue Communications, Inc. today announced that it was named Euroconsult’s 2007 Satellite System Operator of the Year during the 11th World Summit for Satellite Financing in Paris, France. WildBlue provides high-speed Internet access via satellite to homes and small businesses in communities not currently served, or underserved, by other high speed providers.
The Broadband Satellite System Operator of the Year award is based on a performance analysis of satellite market players, selected by a jury composed of representatives from Satellite Finance, Space News and from Euroconsult’s analyst team. In selecting the award recipients, the jury reviews each operator’s performance in relation to a number of benchmarks, including: subscribers at year-end 2006 and 2006 subscription growth; penetration of the estimated addressable market at year-end 2006; and strategic decisions and innovative offerings of 2007. WildBlue received the award yesterday during a ceremony held at the Hotel Westin in Paris.
“WildBlue has had a tremendous year thus far and we are privileged to receive this recognition,” said David Leonard, WildBlue’s Chief Executive Officer, who was on hand to accept the award for WildBlue. “Since the launch of WildBlue-1, WildBlue has grown at a record-breaking pace, and our primary goal continues to be providing the highest quality service for all of our valued WildBlue customers.”
