A1 Telekom Austria Group has announced a contract renewal and the expansion of its partnership with MEGA MAX MEDIA. A1 Group will continue to provide the technical and content distribution of the toddler‘s channel ducktv and will be able to target both private households and PAY TV operators, its own PAY TV platform and third-party PAY TV operators in whole CEE using Eutelsat 16 as contribution platform.

A1 Telekom Austria Group’s “direct2home” services deliver excellent content to our subscribers in CEE, but can also provide the channel via simulcrypting to other DTH operators on Eutelsat 16A, to numerous cable and IPTV players via our contribution services. Our team is proud and excited to build long-term partners!”
