SAT CEO Marlon Alexander<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SAT Telecoms today officially introduced its new triple-play digital service that will encompass television, internet and telephone.<\/p>\n

The over $7-million milestone achievement will replace the company\u2019s existing analog service.<\/p>\n

CEO of SAT Marlon Alexander said the move will definitely be a notable addition to the upward movement of the telecommunications sector on the island.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the achievements of the company at a press conference today, Alexander said that despite stiff competition SAT has survived long past what most projected to be its lifetime.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here. We\u2019re here to stay. It’s how you run your company,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p>\n

The move from analog to digital is expected to be completed by the end of February 2011, and existing customers of the standard television service will not see a price increase. \u201cNot now and not in the near or medium future,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p>\n

Internet service from SAT is available immediately with five different speeds. The telephones service, which will be landline only, will come on stream shortly.<\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers can have all three services for under $100,” the company\u2019s CEO said, adding that this is determined by the combination and level of services selected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased to say the introduction of these new digital services represents a 40 percent reduction in the price of telecommunications services currently available on the island,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

SAT will not reveal its new pricing structure until the official launch of its digital service on Wednesday when it marks its 10th anniversary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAT Telecoms today officially introduced its new triple-play digital service that will encompass television, internet and telephone.
