Book Description
In recent years, several private companies trying to establish international communications satellite systems have expressed concerns about the existence of competitive disadvantages that inhibit their entry into the market. Because of the interest in fostering competition in telecommunications, this report (1) describes the institutional framework for providing international communications satellite services, (2) identifies elements of that framework that appear to hinder competition, and (3) discusses some of the key options that could resolve the competitive issues identified. Charts and tables.

Societal Impact of Spaceflight
Author: Steven J. Dick
Publisher: U. S. National Aeronautics & Space Administration
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 704
Book Description
Since the dawn of spaceflight, advocates of a robust space effort have argued that human activity beyond Earth makes a significant difference in everyday life. Assertions abound about the "impact" of spaceflight on society and its relationship to the larger contours of human existence. Fifty years after the Space Age began, it is time to examine the effects of spaceflight on society in a historically rigorous way. Has the Space Age indeed had a significant effect on society? If so, what are those influences? What do we mean by an "impact" on society? And what parts of society? Conversely, has society had any effect on spaceflight? What would be different had there been no Space Age? The purpose of this volume is to examine these and related questions through scholarly research, making use especially of the tools of the historian and the broader social sciences and humanities. Herein a stellar array of scholars does just that, and arrives at sometimes surprising conclusions.
