PARIS — Satellite broadband service provider WildBlue Communications announced Aug. 20 that it has increased its subscriber count by nearly 15 percent, to 400,000, in the past 12 months. The increase came despite the WildBlue-1 satellite being nearly sold out in regions of the United States where demand is strongest.
