DirecTV Expands Efforts With Wireless Companies

Skyreport - April 16, 1998

DirecTV teamed up with two wireless companies in an effort to deliver
programming to multiple-dwelling units and single family homes.

Cleveland-based wireless television operator Popvision wired the 1,077-unit Gates Mills Towers apartment community to deliver the DSS service. Located in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, Gates Mills Towers is the largest apartment community in the country to offer access to DirecTV.

Popvision is introducing DirecTV to the Cleveland-area MDU market. DirecTV programming will complement Popvision's 41 channels, which include local broadcast channels, and will be available to residents who rent a DSS receiver from Popvision.

Popvision is a division of CS Wireless, which is part of a nationwide
network of independent DirecTV system operators that serve the MDU market.

Heartland Wireless Communications, the nation's largest wireless cable
company, will offer DirecTV to single family homes in the markets it serves. Heartland will provide its local signals in combination with DirecTV, offering consumers a superior alternative to the local cable provider in small to mid-sized markets.

In November last year, DirecTV and Heartland signed a cooperative marketing agreement to sell digital satellite television service to the multiple-family dwelling unit market.
