[Satellite TODAY 12-10-09] Eutelsat has signed a contract with Italian telecoms operator Brennercom to deploy Eutelsat’s Tooway broadband satellite service in the Tyrol region, Eutelsat announced Dec. 9.
Brennercom will partner with Internet service provider Raiffeisen OnLine and Run, a regional network infrastructure manager in South Tyrol, to roll out the services in the region.

Karl Manfredi said in a statement.
