Here's the latest collection of worldwide satellite applications research in one convenient text. New Directions in Satellite Communications: Challenges for North and South, the proceedings of an international conference at the University of Texas in October 1984, gives you insight into the key issues of global satellite applications. New Directions contains 20 individual reports from one of the largest panels of internationally recognized satellite policy experts. Offering you the latest developments on the shrinking gap in satellite technology between the industrialized world and developing countries, New Directions focuses on four major areas: existing solutions to satellite application problems in developing countries; successful satellite technology applications in rural and remote areas - including Canada, Alaska and Mexico; financing, marketing, training, and organizational problems impeding the introduction of satellite technology to developing countries; equitable access to the geostationary orbit for all countries. If you are responsible for developing new satellite markets or need a detailed look at the future of satelite communications, don't miss New Directions in Satellite Communications.
