SES
loses Entavio battle, But markets love the news
The German Bundeskartellamt (Cartel Office) has blocked the planned launch
of SES Astra’s ‘entavio’ system, as initially proposed.
Specifically, the authorities stopped the investigation because Pro7/Sat1
told the Cartel Office on Dec 5 that it would scrap its encryption plan
for free-to-air channels. Dr Ulf Boege, president of the Cartel Office,
said with Pro7/Sat1 withdrawing their plans “the suspicion of coordination
ceased to exist”. Dr Boege was quoted as saying that documents
it had seen “corroborated” the reasons for their examination.The
