Change Looms on Horizon for Inmarsat Distribution Partner

摘要

The September acquisition of mobile satellite services provider Telenor Satellite Services by Vizada, the former France Telecom Mobile Satellite Communications, is the latest consolidation play among the distribution partners of London-based Inmarsat.rnIt may not be the last. While Vizada's owner, private-equity investor Apax Partners, has not set out its strategy publicly, the world of Inmarsat distributors is likely to change dramatically when their current contract with Inmarsat ends in April 2009.
