[Satellite TODAY 09-17-09] Planetsky has signed a contract with Real Image, an Internet service provider in Swaziland, to make its next-generation broadband services available to Real Image’s Sub-Saharan African customers, Planetsky announced Sept. 16.
    Real Image, who introduced high-speed Internet in Swaziland in 1999, said the move is a strategic alliance for the company, as it will be offering the first high-speed Internet services to the country.
    “What is more exciting for us is the fact that we can now tailor different packages with different line speeds, which previously we were unable to do. This means the client will have a choice of speeds to choose from depending on their needs,” said Real Image spokesman Ali Resting, in a statement.
