INTERNATIONAL SATELLITE REGULATORY ISSUES
SINCE A SINGLE SATELLITE CAN SERVE MANY COUNTRIES, SYSTEMS REQUIRE HARMONIZED FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS ACROSS REGIONS AND AROUND THE GLOBE.
WITHOUT WIDESPREAD MARKET ACCESS, SATELLITE SYSTEMS LOSE THEIR GREATEST STRENGTHS AND RISK THEIR COST EFFECTIVENESS.
IT IS DIFFICULT FOR SATELLITE SERVICE PROVIDERS TO CALCULATE THE COSTS AND TIME IT WOULD TAKE TO PARTICIPATE IN SPECTRUM AUCTIONS IN EVERY COUNTRY THEY SERVE.
