BellSouth Inks Satellite Video Deal With SES Global

A Reuters newswire article, via CNN/Money, reports that:

BellSouth, the No. 3 U.S. local telephone company, said Wednesday it signed a deal to receive satellite video services from SES Global as it moves ahead with test plans to deliver television over the Internet.

The deal with SES Global's U.S. arm, SES Americom, expands on a trial BellSouth began last year with Microsoft Corp. to launch a new Internet-based TV system in mid-2006. "SES Americom enables us to make additional content available to BellSouth's IPTV (Internet protocol television) trial participants as we continue our analysis of this technology," said Don Granger, president of BellSouth Entertainment, in a statement.
