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:

Host Broadcast Services (HBS) was announced today as the host broadcaster for the FIFA Confederations Cup 2009 and the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. Additionally, HBS will consult with FIFA on host broadcasting matters for all other events from 2007 to 2010. For the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, HBS’ role again includes every single aspect of the production of the signal as well as providing necessary services and facilities to rights holders and licensees in order to fulfil their production needs.

On 3 February 2006, in rather freezing conditions in Amiens’ Licorne stadium, a team of blue-coated men and women busied themselves around the pitch intent on making "T5" a highly successful "World Cup standard" HD test.

On 30 January HBS, in conjunction with Infront and T-Systems, hosted a special workshop for New Media Licencees of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™. More than 100 attendees from 19 countries were present for the event, which was held at the Hilton Park Munich.
