[QUOTE="TENERIFEFORUMTV, post: 819646, member: 391177"] -[url="http://www.spacenews.com/satellite_telecom/121017-eutelsat-ses-dispute-escalates.html"]http://www.spacenews...-escalates.html[/url]-- PARIS — Satellite fleet operator Eutelsat on Oct. 16 widened its dispute with rival SES about rights to 500 megahertz of satellite bandwidth over Europe by announcing it had requested arbitration at the International Chamber of Commerce. This new proceeding is in addition to an existing arbitration between Paris-based Eutelsat and customer Media Broadcast, which plans to end a Eutelsat contract in 2013 and to take both its business and 500 megahertz of German-registered frequency assignments with it to SES. The 500 megahertz in question, equivalent to nearly 14 transponders, are distributed around 28 degrees east over Europe, which in satellite-bandwidth terms is among the highest-priced stretches of orbital real estate. Eutelsat is arguing two points. The first is that, although Media Broadcast has a right to end its contract with Eutelsat in October 2013, it does not have authority to take the 500 megahertz of capacity with it. Eutelsat’s second point is that Luxembourg-based SES has no right to abrogate the 1999 Intersystem Coordination Agreement between the two satellite operators — the complex arrangement governs operations of multiple satellite slots over Europe — by taking 500 megahertz of capacity that was part of the deal. In an Oct. 17 interview, Eutelsat spokeswoman Vanessa O’Connor said the 1999 agreement, which has provided a framework for SES-Eutelsat relations since, has no end date and gives as many benefits to SES as to Eutelsat. Ending it, she said, would pose as many risks for SES as for Eutelsat. Full article on the link - A/S [/QUOTE]
