13.4.2023 09:50:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
SES announced today that it has signed multi-year capacity agreements totalling more than €75 million in backlog with multiple German private and public broadcasters. The majority of renewals span several years and will enable millions of satellite TV households across Germany to continue watching SD and HD content, reinforcing SES’s position as the leading global content connectivity provider.
The renewal deals include both private and public broadcasters who are looking to maintain the broadest reach, highest quality and maximum reliability for their video content delivery, including:
- QVC Germany – the live shopping broadcaster is renewing both SD and HD channels
- Seven.One Entertainment Group – the broadcaster’s channel offering continues to be available in SD
- Media Broadcast Satellite GmbH (MBS) – the provider of global satellite and terrestrial communications services is renewing capacity for SD channels
- Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF) – the public broadcaster is renewing its HD offering
- HIGH VIEW – recently signed an extension with SES and has just launched additional channels
SES’s latest video contract extensions illustrate how both private and public broadcasters across Germany are leveraging SES’s satellites at the prime 19.2 degrees East orbital slot to directly reach more than 17 million satellite TV homes, surpassing other satellite or terrestrial operators in the country.
“Whether for news, entertainment, live sports, shopping or public service, audiences continue to demand access to a wide range of high-quality video content,” said Norbert Hölzle, Global Head of Media at SES. “The size of these deals and length of the contracts highlight that for both private and public broadcasters the most efficient way to reach millions of households and build the biggest audience is through satellite – today and well into the future.”

Both devices, unveiled at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event, run Android 17 with One UI 9 and are accessible for live testing and automation before retail units reach customers.

Riskified and Marqeta Partner to Sharpen Card Issuer Authorization Decisions and Help Reduce False Declines5.8.2026 15:30:00 EEST | Press release
Riskified (NYSE: RSKD), a global leader in ecommerce fraud and risk intelligence, today announced a partnership with Marqeta (NASDAQ: MQ), the global modern card issuing platform, to give card issuers on Marqeta's platform access to Riskified's pre-authorization risk intelligence. The integration helps issuers make more accurate authorization decisions, approve more legitimate transactions, and reduce false declines across Marqeta's issuing portfolio.

According to 2023 research by PYMNTS Intelligence and Nuvei, false declines put an estimated $157 billion in U.S. ecommerce sales at risk, with $81 billion ultimately lost even after consumers attempted to complete their purchases through subsequent payment attempts.
