SES ASTRA to Distribute ASTRA2Connect Through Yato

SES ASTRA, an SES company (Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG) has signed its
third large framework contract to market its high speed internet
access product ASTRA2Connect to German end consumers in Germany. The
new distribution partner Yato will use ASTRA2Connect to offer its
clients triple-play services via satellite. The other contracts for
the roll-out of ASTRA2Connect in Germany were signed with the
telecommunications providers Filiago (www.filiago.de) and STARDSL
(www.stardsl.de). ASTRA2Connect is also marketed in Austria,
Switzerland and Ireland.

The telecommunications provider Yato, based in Zug (Switzerland),
specialises in the Europe-wide distribution of broadband,
telecommunications and digital media services via satellite. CEO is
Elmar Hulsmann, the former deputy chairman of the German
telecommunication provider Arcor.

ASTRA2Connect is a fully satellite-based solution for broadband
access that delivers dual- and triple-play services to end consumers
without any terrestrial support. This innovative service offers a
unique possibility for regions without terrestrial broadband access to
use high-speed internet. Seven German trade magazines who tested
ASTRA2Connect recommended the new service as a "fast and intelligent
connection to the internet" that is "comparable to DSL" and offers an
"attractive satellite-based broadband solution for all those who live
in the broadband deserts of Germany or Europe."

"With this Yato contract, the ramping up of the ASTRA2Connect
service and subscriber base continues successfully," said Alexander
Oudendijk, Chief Commercial Officer of SES ASTRA. "ASTRA2Connect
offers consumers a highly-attractive solution to access high-speed
internet in regions where terrestrial services are not available. We
are also continuing to discuss with marketing partners in other
countries in order to maximize the reach of this new service and
continue the successful roll-out."
