Masanori Akiyama CEO, Sky Perfect JSAT

摘要

Sky Perfect JSAT Corp. has embarked on a unique growth strategy in recent years, strengthening its position in Japan and the Asia-Pacific region and making it one of the largest satellite operators around the globe.rnIn 2007, JSAT merged with Sky Perfect Communications, a leading pay-TV operator in Japan with more than 4 million subscribers, creating a fixed satellite services (FSS) powerhouse with a strong presence in the direct-to-home (DTH) arena. The combination leaves Sky Perfect JSAT in a unique position to tap into the lucrative Japanese pay-TV market.rnThe satellite operator also is moving into other markets, announcing in August a strategic initiative with Stratos to target the mobile satellite services (MSS) market in Japan. The creation of JSAT Mobile Communications Inc. will bring Stratos' portfolio of MSS, including Inmarsat and Iridium services, to the Japanese market.
