Over the last few years, there has been a lot of talk about the evolution of the broadbandover-satellite industry. Until now, not a lot has changed. 2004 looks like it will be different.

This report analyzes the global market for broadband satellite and forecasts subscribers in North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and Latin America. We provide snapshots for each of these markets and make recommendations to broadband satellite service providers and enterprises.
