History

Katelco was established in 1995 as an integrated system to provide satellite television (including direct-to-home service Katelco Plus), radio, data transmission (including internet access), and telephony.[1][2] The name is an abbreviation for "Kazakhstani Telecommunications Company".

Katelco provided broadcast services for national, regional and corporate TV.[3] It owned and operated of the National Satellite Broadcasting System (NSBS) and Satellite Multi-channel Digital Broadcasting System of Direct Broadcasting "Katelco Plus". It owned main control center in Almaty and teleports in Nur-Sultan and Oral with uplink facilities in other regional capitals.[4]

Among other resources, it used the KazSat satellite.[5]

In 2007 Katelco was listed among top 10 Kazakhstan communication operators by the Russian telecom business magazine InformCourier-Svyaz.[5]

31 January 2011 the company was merged into the Kazteleradio, JSC - national terrestrial and satellite operator of Kazakhstan for television and radio broadcasting.

gollark: I made it replace lowercase only.
gollark: ```Brute Dragons are among the larger Comrade breeds. They prefer to live in solitude or small groups, nesting in high, mountainous regions. The only time they openly seek the company of others is during the mating season, when males will fight for the attention of females. The thunderous crash of Brute Dragons butting horns against each other in competition for mates can be heard nearly a mile away.Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of Comrade exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in Comrades is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of Comrades grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, Comrades and humans coexist peacefully.```
gollark: v0, which just replaces dragon with Comrade, is a great success.
gollark: Okay, the replacing thing is kind of hard.
gollark: I'll just make a userscript for it now.
