The World Teleport Asscociation (WTA) released a new research report on LEO/MEO Constellations and the Teleport The next eighteen months are critical ones for the first attempt since Iridium to loft a large-scale constellation of low-earth-orbit satellites that promise to transform global communications.

Historically the Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) providers Inmarsat, Iridium and Globalstar were the only satellite operators that were providing services for the maritime market. During the last ten years the market changed and now all the major satellite operators both MSS and Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) providers are now offering maritime solutions with a range of frequencies from L-Band ( Inmarsat, Globalstar, Irdium) and C-, Ku-, Ka- and X-Bands ( All major satellite operators e.g. Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, Telesat).

Africa will have 47.26 million pay TV subscribers by 2025, up from 30.70 million at end-2019.

GlobalData’s South Korea Telecom Operators Country Intelligence Report predicts that mobile broadband services will increase at the fastest CAGR of 3.1% during 2019-2024, led by fast growing machine-to-machine  (M2M) connections, projected rise in adoption of 5G services and subsequent increas

In its latest research titled, “The Space Economy Report 2019, previously named Satellite Value Chain”, Euroconsult projects that the commercial space value chain will see steady growth over the next decade, reaching US$ 485 billion by 2028. The upstream segment, which includes commercial revenues from manufacturing, launch and ground equipment is expected to increase from US$ 8 billion in 2018 to US$ 11 billion in 2028, a growth rate of four percent per year.

NSR’s Space Tourism and Travel Markets report, released today, forecasts suborbital and orbital tourist services beginning in 2020 and 2021, respectively, generating $14B in cumulative revenues by 2028.  The long-awaited space tourism market is set to begin with players, investment, and technology growing to meet very high demand. Suborbital tourism will begin sooner and grow at a stronger rate, owing to greater frequency, more actors and lower ticket prices; while orbital tourism is set to expand the commercial space ecosystem in a significant way alongside government programs.

In its latest research titled, “FSS Capacity Pricing Trends,” Euroconsult details pricing for traditional C-band, Ku-band and High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capacity broken out by contracts, regions, spectrum bands, and applications. The report shows that as the growth of satellite capacity on orbit slows, pricing levels per megahertz (MHz) for regular capacity and per megabits per second (Mbps) for HTS capacity have both stabilized at lower rates of decline and are projected to continue that trend through 2020.

Euroconsult released “The Space Economy Report “ previously named Satellite Value Chain. This report brings together a selection of key trends and indicators on the global space market from Euroconsult’s reports, complemented by dedicated research on the commercial satellite business to provide a consolidation of the commercial satellite revenues.

Every discussion of cybersecurity descends, sooner or later, into a fog of words that only people who are cybersecurity experts understand. They can talk all day about cross-site scripting, SQL injection and buffer overflow vulnerabilities – and decision-makers will be none the wiser.

NSR’s Commercial Satellite Ground Segment, 4^th Edition (CSGS4) report, released today, forecasts global annual revenues for the Commercial Satellite Ground Segment to grow to $14.4 billion annually by 2028, with US$ 145 billion in cumulative revenue over the next decade.
