    On October 31, 2007, BCE announced that it had completed the previously announced sale of its satellite services subsidiary Telesat Canada to a new acquisition company formed by Canada’s Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) and Loral Space and Communications Inc.
 
    Net of assumed debt and transaction expenses, BCE received proceeds of $3.2 billion from the all-cash transaction.
 
    The sale of Telesat Canada was completed as part of BCE’s strategy to focus on its core telecommunications business and sell non-core assets.

    provides direct to home satellite television services, entered into commercial arrangements to provide Bell ExpressVu with access to additional satellite capacity.
