Satellite vs. Digital for Business TV (BTV)

For the past 15 years, one of the best ways for companies to communicate with tens of thousands of employees and partners was with a dedicated satellite channel. This has spawned an industry called Business Television (BTV).

Satellite Business Television networks have several critical drawbacks:

1. Satellite channels are expensive – ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars per year.
2. The viewers all had to sign up for the same satellite network.
3. It is difficult to reach a worldwide audience with a single satellite provider.
4. Satellite BTV channels deliver the same time-slotted channel to all, with no on-demand flexibility.
5. The audience is increasingly mobile – requiring a separate mobile communication method.
