	British Sky Broadcasting
		British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB - formerly Sky Television) is a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) service operating in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
		The Astra satellite was owned by a Luxembourg-based consortium and controlled from there, but Sky's broadcasts originated in the UK and were subject to British regulation, originally by the Cable Authority and later by the Independent Television Commission.
		The failure of rival company British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB) in November 1990 led to a merger, although some of Sky's detractors saw it as a takeover.

	British Sky Broadcasting
		British Sky Broadcastin is the first entrepreneurial venture of any significance to have challenged the hitherto closely regulated, four-channel, public service character of British television.
		BSB was claimed to possess an enormous technological advantage over its rival in that it would use a much higher powered satellite with the more technically sophisticated D-MAC transmission standard delivering a higher fidelity TV picture than Sky's inferior (but more affordable) PAL standard.
		BSB's two Marco Polo satellites (at an astronomical cost of some £500 million each) were duly launched from Cape Kennedy by Space Shuttle between August 1989 and early 1990, by which time Sky had been consolidating its audience for over a year.
