Satellite Regulatory & Policy Implications Satellite Has a Strong Track Record Essential Tool for Broadband Delivery Largely in Industrialised Nations Policy Can Facilitate Its Use To Elevate Economic, Health,

Education Standards

17TBC

Satellite Regulatory Reform:Acting Nationally, Thinking Regionally

Challenge:– Onerous Licensing– Non-Transparency– Slow Type Approvals– Stifled Competition– Restricted Access to

Satellite Capacity

Solution/Trend:– Licensing Reforms– One Stop Shops– MRA, Self Declaration

– Liberalization– Improved Access to

Satellite Capacity

18TBC

The Blanket Licensing Concept

Define Criteria for VSAT Terminal Type That Ensures No Interference Caused

Issue Single ‘Blanket’ License for Thousands of Identical-Type VSATs

Vital Services Are Provided Faster and at a Much Lower End-User Cost

The U.S. Experience

Implemented a Decade Ago Facilitated Deployment of World’s

Largest Installed VSAT Base
