satellite provider

Space-based TV service

A satellite provider is a company that delivers television, internet, or other telecommunications services via satellites orbiting Earth.

The term most commonly refers to satellite TV services like DirecTV or Dish Network: We switched to a satellite provider after the cable company raised rates.

Satellite providers serve rural areas where cable infrastructure doesn't reach.
