On May 23, 2008, Telia announced an agreement with Viasat that would make six packages of Viasat channels available to Telia costumers. It would also make TV3, TV6, TV8 and ZTV available in some of Telia's basic packages. [6] The Viasat channels are launched i June 2008 and will also include an on-demand service.[7]
