Comsat Corp. [CQ] has won a three-year, $9 million contract to provide Internet access at 90 megabits per second – the equivalent of about 500 pages of text per second – to Dexar Multimedia & Telekom of Istanbul, Turkey.

Dexar, a telecom subsidiary of Vestel Electronics, specializes in delivering Internet content via VSATs throughout Turkey, thus bypassing bottlenecks in the country’s old telephone system.

Comsat Satellite Services will provide the uplink for the service through Comsat’s Digital Teleport Inc. earth station in Clarksburg, Md.
