Eastern Europe: New Nexus of Growth |
|
Russia is a rising power not only in the geo-political arena, but also in the delivery of international satellite services. The increasingly deregulated CIS markets are squarely in Russia's sights, and a new breed of value-added resellers is emerging to address pent-up demand. But Western European interests are looking for new growth sources. Is the stage set for a showdown in Eastern Europe? Do satellite broadcast and telecom customers stand to gain from intense competition? And is the Eastern European strategy for success based on a strong value proposition or on the lowest common denominator? These and other pressing issues will be closely examined. [more] |

Middle East and Africa: Long-Term Play? |
|
Are the African and Middle Eastern satellite markets fundamentally sound? For much of the past decade, Africa recorded the highest satellite revenue growth rates of any region in the world. Likewise, the Middle East -- primed largely by crude revenues -- was rapidly challenging African growth statistics. Then a capacity crunch struck, forcing bandwidth prices up and driving satellite network operators -- revenues down. As preparations are made to launch new satellites, including additional indigenous African and Middle Eastern platforms, entrepreneurs are fighting for survival. How have they adapted their businesses, and what impact do current trends have on their long-term chances for success? This panel will provide answers. [more] |
