TelecomFinance
Our longest established title, TelecomFinance breaks news and acts as a journal of record for financings and restructurings in the fixed and mobile communications sectors, across the globe. From broadband metropolitan access providers in North America, to 3G networks in Europe, to PTTs facing privatisation in emerging markets - bankers, investors and CFOs can track the sources and cost of finance. By speaking with deal makers and principals, TelecomFinance follows the life cycle of finance from venture capital through vendor and project financings, equity and debt private placements, IPOs, high yield bonds and M&A. Readers can benchmark their deals against terms and conditions achieved in similar transactions elsewhere, see which banks execute mandates effectively, and discover marketing opportunities.
The subscription also includes the daily T-wire email newsletter, offering an up-to-date briefing on the top telecom stories hitting the headlines plus other stories bubbling under that may not have been widely reported.

SatelliteFinance
While the focus in the satellite industry has expanded to include mobile internet, direct-to-home TV remains a staple in the coverage of SatelliteFinance. Hence this title now boasts an expanded media section, touching on interactive TV, portals, digital radio, and other content providers. SatelliteFinance reports on financings by established and new satellite platform operators, service providers and technology companies. Different sections focus on broadband services, navigation, launches and insurance.
