Not how much

We do not yet know what the other satellite service plans will be. However, there is a probable connection with our market with Skylink, which has more than half a million customers.

We also do not know how much the M7 group will pay for service in four countries.

Sales were however expected – FreeSat owner (same as UPC) sold the cable section in Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic to the operator Vodafone. We have not yet come to sell the cable section. Vodafone is probably not interested in UPC as there is no mobile operator here.
