    Despite the noted limitations of the launch of Astra, BSB should have recognized its ability to reduce the barriers to entry into satellite television by acquiring broadcast rights at a substantial discount. Without the D-MAC requirement imposed by the British government in the DBS along with Astra’s ability to lower overhead costs, News Corp’s barriers to entry were greatly reduced, something that should have been apparent to BSB. Even with Astra’s launch and Armsrad’s frustration, BSB failed to prepare for a competitor’s entry and more specifically, the launch of Sky Television.…

    The very thing that allowed DirecTV and Dish to flourish in the 1990s is now the characteristic that puts them at risk of falling behind. Satellite TV originally allowed anyone with a view of the southern portion of the sky to be able to access to expanded TV service that might have been otherwise unavailable through terrestrial networks. However, with the push of Internet-based programming, in which land networks are necessary to receive the full benefits of fast service, satellite-TV providers are now being forced to look at their options and brace for change (Mentel, 2013).…

    With �0 million of start-up costs and breakeven anticipation in 1993, BSB built a franchise, secured �2.5 million of 1st round financing, recruited personnel, and stirred public interest of its new technology, DMAC. Sky TV comes along with only �0 million of start-up costs and breakeven anticipation in early 1992 to launch its own satellite television venture. As a private consortium, offering 16 channels with strong "footprint" throughout Europe, disregarding BSB's DMAC technology as "nonsense", Sky planned to install 1 million satellite dishes. A war soon followed. BSB retaliated by using its 25-cm "Squarial" satellite dish as a branding strategy, which was only a "dummy" at the time, and engaged in negative advertising about Sky. While BSB's objective was to accelerate sales through increased advertising and promotion levels, it actually ended up emptying its deep pockets (�0 million) for rights to Hollywood films. Sky responded back by offering a "free film" channel, engaged in negative publicity by branding BSB as "hot air", became committed to a bidding war for Hollywood programming, relaxed its terms for its customers to include "two-week free trial, with no deposit", and initiated a direct selling effort. These actions combined with slow dish sales resulted in emptying Sky's pockets by over �0 million. BSB continued to fight the war and lose money through increased marketing and advertising, losing…
