The South China Morning Post quoted Jannie Poon Lai-king,
V-P for corporate affairs and publicity as saying that Star plans
to outsource its uplinking. "Today, there are many competitively
priced uplink providers in the market,'' Poon was quoted as saying
explaining the reasoning behind a move that is expected to result
in considerable savings.
"We
now find there is a huge difference between outsourcing the rest
of the channels to a third party versus continuing to invest in
state-of-the-art technology in Clearwater Bay," Poon said.
Star's satellite uplink centre at Clearwater Bay reportedly uplinks
satellite feeds for more than 30 channels to 53 countries across
Asia.
The newspaper further reported that Star is also planning to close
its expensive headquarters in Hong Kong's Clearwater Bay and relocate
its corporate base to HungHom, Kowloon.
