Via Satellite: What will be the makeup of CEO panels at future shows?Wright: I think you will see the CEOs you’ve got now. These companies will grow and expand their service offerings, but eventually there is a good chance you’re going to have hybrid companies on that stage, representing satellite and terrestrial operations. I think you will find more diverse, larger companies on these panels 10 years from now.
Via Satellite: What is your impact on the satellite industry?Wright: When I look back at the very beginning, the industry was driven primarily by design engineers who built the business along with the networks and hardware. Today, a lot of professional management has come in, and hopefully I played a role in that paradigm shift. The whole idea of being driven by the marketplace more than the design of the satellite is a change of thought process that has been very good for the industry. I think the satellite industry is a very healthy industry today. It’s growing. Prices are stabilizing, and that’s not the way it was seven or eight years ago. I feel very positive when looking toward the future and with the way satellite operators are being managed. I think it will only get better.
