Produktinformationen zu „High Above “
Frequently it is suggested that the "golden age" of television was during the period 1950-1960. But if this was the authentic golden age, then it was an age of black and white, somewhat limited creativity, poor reception, lack of competition (except in the United States) and - by and large - public service broadcasting.
Luxembourg-based SES Astra appeared on the scene at exactly this time. Astra was instrumental in the dramatic developments in television that we have witnessed since then.
Without multi-channel analogue TV, the mass-market penetration of television sets and general economic prosperity we would not have the necessary base ingredients to make the great leap forward into digital, into HDTV, 3D-television, and the prospects of Ultra High Definition now in sight.
High Above tells the story of the birth of a whole array of new industries and the creation of hundreds of thousands of jobs.
It also tells the background story of Astra, and how some extremely brave pioneers managed to overcome technical, political and commercial obstacles and in the process become the worlds leading satellite operator.

Rezension zu „High Above “
"High Above" - Unter diesem Titel zeichnet Chris Forrester die Erfolgsgeschichte von Europas größtem Satellitenbetreiber SES ASTRA nach. Rechtzeitig zum 25. Jahrestag des in Luxemburg ansässigen Unternehmens hat der britische Journalist und Fachautor das Buch am Montag in Berlin vorgestellt.Das sehr aufwändig gestaltete Werk ist aber nicht nur eine Eloge auf den TV-Pionier, der mit seinen 25 Satelliten mehr als 125 Millionen Haushalte in Europa versorgt. Es ist zugleich eine faktenreiche und spannende Chronik des Satellitenfernsehens überhaupt, das ganz neue Branchen und ungezählte Arbeitsplätze geschaffen hat. Dazu kommen auch solche namhaften privaten und öffentlich-rechtlichen Fernsehmacher wie Helmut Thoma und Ex-ZDF-Intendant Dieter Stolte zu Wort.
