Satellites and Broadcasting: A 30-Year Warning |
|
Satellites have been the most cost-effective way to distribute video content to broadcast networks and cable heads for the past 30 years. However, there has been astronomical bandwidth growth in the Internet backbone. Fiber networks have the potential for replacing satellite transmission. Prices for terrestrial transmission have been dropping rapidly. Media companies are now comparing the price of terrestrial distribution with satellite transmission. Internet alternatives could affect other satellite services including VSAT private networks. Eventually even direct broadcasting could be provided on the Internet. Hybrid solutions that combine space and terrestrial components are already in service. Where is this heading? How rapidly will the satellite industry be affected? How can the satellite industry adapt and innovate?
