Equatorial Communications Co, Mountain View, which already provides satellite broadcast facilities for transmission of Reuters (Holdings) Plc news, pictures and real-time financial data directly to media and business clients in the US, will offer a similar service for Central America, South America and the Caribbean from June 1, and will be the first broadcast service designated by Intelsat as an Intelnet 1 service, intended to enable the inexpensive transmission of data worldwide; an agreement to buy the Master Earth Station in Hauppauge, New York and an initial group of 250 C-100 micro earth stations from Equatorial for the new service was signed by Reuters in December last year.
