Satellite fleet operator Telenor Satellite Broadcasting of Norway on May 5 reported a sharp drop in revenue for three months ending March 31 as its principal direct-broadcast television customer, Norway's Canal Digital, consolidated its bandwidth leases into a single contract and won volume-discount concessions.
