Communications Satellites: Intercontinental and European message 
transfer (telephone and data transmission) is carried out by the  
Post- und Telekom Austria AG, to a large extent via INTELSAT and 
EUTELSAT communications satellites; Austria is a member of both 
organizations. Data transmission is performed by the Aflenz earth 
station (Styria). Communication via satellite-aided broadband data 
networks is possible via smaller terminals.

\\
The Austrian broadcasting corporation (ORF), together with the Swiss 
SRG and the German ARD, broadcast the programme "3-Sat" via satellite; 
many foreign TV and radio programmes can also be received in Austria 
via satellite. Since 1976 Austria has also been participating in the 
European Space Agency´s (ESA) F&E Telecommunications Programme.
