Abstract
This Research Service describes the commercial satellite telecommunications
market in the North America region. It measures and forecasts transponder
supply and demand in that region. The market examined herein is the "capacity"
market, meaning the market for leasing of geostationary (GEO) satellite
transponders to parties that will use this capacity for a number of satellite
applications including video broadcast, telephony, and networking. The
capacity market is generally equivalent to traditional fixed satellite
services (FSS) and broadcasting satellite services (BSS) markets. Emerging
services (such as satellite-based direct internet access (DIA)) are included
in our forecasts.
