Two radio stations in Lithuania, Radio M-1 and Pukas, have signed long term contracts with NSAB, owner of the Sirius Satellites, based in Sweden. For the first time, national coverage of their radio broadcasts will be carried via a digital satellite system. The move will allow the radio station to operate independently while offering high quality broadcasting at a lower cost.

In the first collaboration of its kind in the Ukraine, the Swedish based company NSAB, owner of the Sirius satellites, is working with LuckyNet, a rapidly growing national Internet service provider. The aim is to offer a high speed satellite Internet broadcast system, Lucky Link, for business and private users.
