WildBlue Communications, Inc.
 PROFILE
WildBlue Communications hopes to see blues skies ahead -- dotted with the company's satellites. The development-stage satellite system operator, formerly known as iSky, is targeting consumers, home offices, and small businesses in North America. It plans to use Ka-band geosynchronous satellites to deliver broadband Internet services combined with DBS (direct broadcast satellite) services from EchoStar and DIRECTV. Telesat Canada, a unit of BCE, owns 20% of WildBlue. Other investors include Gemstar-TV Guide International, Liberty Satellite, EchoStar, TRW, and Kleiner Perkins. Chairman David Drucker, a former EchoStar VP, founded the company in 1995 as KaSTAR Satellite Communications.
