RBU is also working with various organizations to air public service announcements and educational content to all Filipinos, from Batanes and Ilocos in the north to the southern municipalities of Mindanao.
Overcoming Challenges with Satellite Technology
RBU President, Atty. Frank Martin Abalos, highlighted the challenges of providing information across an archipelago with over 7,000 islands. "With RBU pivoting into a DTH operator, we’ll be able to do our share in giving access to crucial public information to more Filipinos as we try to reach every island in the country," he said.

Provisional Authority and Partnership with KT SAT
The NTC granted provisional authority to RBU late last year to offer DTH services throughout the Philippines. RBU has partnered with KT SAT, a subsidiary of KT Corp. (formerly Korea Telecom), to provide the satellite technology for this service. KT SAT's resources cover over 60% of the world's land area, offering satellite communication services not only in Korea but also in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and Pakistan.
