Global Assessment of Satellite Demand, 4th Edition

Achieving the highest growth rate of any market segment for the coming years, Ku-band video services such as distribution for free-to-air and cable headends, Direct-To-Home (DTH), contribution and occasional use are certainly the highlight of the global commercial satellite market. Should NSR's forecasts hold true, over 500 36-MHz transponder equivalents of Ku-band capacity will be added to global capacity demand between 2004 and 2008 with half of these transponders coming from red hot DTH markets alone. Without exception, every region of the world is showing sustained growth from DTH, and NSR sees no reason for this to change through 2012. [...]
