Satellite Operators Talk Broadband
Posted: 13th Oct, 2003 By: MarkJ
Most of Europe's major satellite operators have met at the SatExpo exhibition in Montecchio Maggiore, Italy, to discuss the future. Two-way broadband satellite Internet access was among the issues raised:
An important objective was to strengthen common views of the satellite industry on the deployment of broadband services in advance of the adoption in November this year by the European Council of the White Paper on Future European Space Policy. ESOA will shortly start discussions with the European Commission on the implementation of the Broadband SatCom Initiative for which the Association has contributed a joint proposal with Eurospace, the Association of European space equipment manufacturers that brings together Europes leading satellite manufacturers (Alcatel Space, EADS-Astrium, Alenia Spazio).
Two-way satellite broadband
ESOA held a working session with major two-way satellite terminal manufacturers, including Alcatel Space, Nera, Pentamedia, Thrane & Thrane, EMS, Hughes Network Systems and Viasat to discuss joint activities that will facilitate the increased development of cost-effective broadband satellite services for end-users. The Association also decided to initiate a meeting in Paris in December with two-way broadband service providers including Aramiska, Hughes Network Systems, Skylogic Italia/Eutelsat, Satlynx, Telespazio etc.
ESOA members also discussed major issues that may impact the satellite industry including:
* Spectrum charges ESOA is concerned by national initiatives to increase the burden of regulation in satellite downlink frequency bands which could impact on the deployment of new services and broadband in Europe.
* Market access issues ESOAs strategy for encouraging a non-preferential, non-discriminatory open skies market access policy for satellite services, promoting and encouraging market entry by as many satellite service providers as technically feasible without discrimination on satellite technology used.
