In the last few months a number of events have taken place which have allowed HBS to refine its plans for the 2006 FIFA World Cup
Germany™. Among them:
Final Draw: 9 December 2005 at Leipzig, Germany
HBS was the Host Broadcaster of the event and successfully provided all unilateral services and the satellite distribution.

WBM2 Munich: 11 - 12 December at Munich, Germany - followed by Unilateral meetings from 13 to 15 December
The Second World Broadcasters Meeting for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ provided Broadcast Partners with much

Booking Deadline for 1st round matches and
64 match packages: 13 December 2005
The deadline for requesting facilities for first-round matches and 64-match packages has now passed. Additional requests may
still be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be processed in a first-come, first-served fashion. Broadcast Partners wishing to submit
such requests should first contact the HBS booking department.

2006 and included both a technical workshop and unilateral meetings.
