Under the contract, during June 10-July 10, it will broadcast 51 matches via GMM Z platform.

"Obtaining the license will stimulate viewing demand in the market as well as strengthen the company's wherewithal to compete and thus will help increase revenue and create added value to the company's satellite television business," said Premon Pinskul, chief financial officer.

Now I got True and CTH so with Grammy my Condo starting to look like a Christmas tree with all the different coloured dishes. Which ones should I kick into touch.

A GMM box can use your Truevision dish.

I'm amazed that Truevision couldn't be bothered to outbid everybody bearing in mind last year's cock-up over the Euros.

So am I. You'd think they'd be trying to win back football viewers!

It is all in the numbers

I am sre they have it figured out that the money they gain

from new subs. and adverts does not make up for such a

large expense as EUROs

They is no way TRUE will do anything that will not make money sense

and the sure as hell will not do anything that would please their current

subscriber base.

I would like to know how any people canceled TRUE because of the last EURO event

and how many cancelations they get with them not having the EPL rights.

I think True is going to lose heaps more local customers.

But for a non-football fan like me, this is great. True is compensating by increasing their HD programs and licensing with other international content providers. I am a happy man now.

Competition is GREAT.
