PANAMSAT NAMED BEST SATELLITE CARRIER AT 2006 TELECOM ASIA AWARDS
WILTON, CT, April 25, 2006 -- PanAmSat (NYSE: PA) has received a top
honor from Telecom Asia magazine. The publication awarded PanAmSat with
the “Best Satellite Carrier” award at the 2006 Telecom Asia Awards, held
in Phuket, Thailand, on April 24. PanAmSat was selected for the award
due to its market leadership, innovations in technology and services as
well as its strong financial performance in one of the world’s most
challenging telecommunications markets.
“PanAmSat has been dedicated to serving the Asia-Pacific region with
world-class satellite services for more than 10 years,” said David Ball,
PanAmSat’s vice president for Asia Pacific, while speaking at the NAB
show currently underway in Las Vegas. “Our customers and partners in the
region continually look to us for industry-leading solutions for the
transmission of broadcast programming, worldwide breaking news and
critical business data. We are pleased that Telecom Asia has recognized
our achievements in the region with this award.”
The awards, which have been presented annually since 1998, are the most
prestigious honors program in the Asian telecommunications industry.
This is the second time that PanAmSat has been recognized as the
region’s best satellite carrier.
The award winners were chosen for their combined financial, market and
technology strengths based on financial analysis and assessments by an
18-member judging panel. The judges are backed by a research team at
IDC, a leading provider of global research and advice, using a
combination of its extensive communications research in Asia-Pacific and
financial analysis of the carriers.
