(SKY.NZ) said Friday it<br />has secured access to a back-up satellite in case its current satellite<br />fails.<br /><br />The New Zealand-based pay television operator said in a statement that its<br />plan means it will have access within 10 weeks to a back-up satellite with<br />sufficient power to continue operating its digital television service.<br /><br />Sky TV said last week that it had been advised by Optus Networks Pty Ltd., a<br />subsidiary of Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. (T48.SG), that the satellite<br />its service operates from had moved to a back-up processor following the<br />failure of its primary control processor.<br /><br />Sky TV has been seeking access to a back-up satellite because most of its<br />subscribers would be cut off if the existing satellite's second processor<br />failed.
