PARIS (AFX) - Eutelsat Communications said it has signed an agreement with satellite equipment maker ViaSat Inc to begin offering satellite-based internet access in Europe, aiming to win subscribers in areas where land-based broadband connections are not readily available.

The service will be based on ViaSat's SurfBeam system, which uses open-source software to reduce the cost of consumer terminals.

Commercial service will begin in June in countries including Switzerland, Germany, Spain and Portugal, the two companies said.

Financial details of the partnership were not disclosed.
