Intelsat's Story Offers Lessons for the Future

摘要

While a lot of what we write in Via Satellite focuses on the future and the opportunities for the satellite industry in an increasingly complex media and communications ecosystem, every so often it is good to recognize the history of the industry and the importance of people who were pioneers. Intelsat is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and, in this edition, we talk to key figures past and present in the Intelsat story and look at where the company comes from and where it goes next. The satellite industry has progressed significantly in the last 50 years, and while some (rightfully) worry about how the industry will fare, particularly as the wireless industry grows at such a rapid pace, satellite continues to flourish.
