[Satellite Today 02-02-09] Avanti Communications CEO David Williams is confident the operator can meet its targets for selling capacity on its HylasOne satellite, which is scheduled for launch later this year.
In an interview with Satellite Today, Williams said Avanti hopes to have up to 25 percent of the capacity sold at launch.
“The commmercialization of Hylas is going exceedingly well," said Williams. "Our business model is to sell to telecoms companies who then sell to end users. We now have 25 of those. We have great confidence that we will meet our targets. It is my desire to have 20 percent to 25 percent capacity committed on day of launch.”
