Oslo - Mar 24, 2004 Telenor Satellite Services today announced that it is the first satellite communications provider in the United States to receive U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval to offer a full range of broadband services over the AMOS 2 satellite.

AMOS 2, operated by Spacecom Satellite Communications Services, Ltd. And launched in December 2003, provides high-quality broadcasting and communications service capabilities between Europe, the Middle East, and the east coast of the United States, creating a vital link from the Middle East to the US-based IP backbone for advanced broadband services.
