Transformative Connectivity: Trends in Satellite Innovation

Geneva: ITU (2024), 8 pp.
"Satellite technology represents a transformative solution to global connectivity challenges, particularly in developing countries and in rural and remote regions. By expanding connectivity in these historically underserved areas, satellite networks are bridging the digital divide and driving sustainable development through improved access to health care, education, employment and financial inclusion. The continued success and growth of satellite services hinges on supportive policy and regulatory frameworks and enhanced collaboration between governments, industry and regulators. Clear regulatory environments, investment incentives and strengthened partnerships between satellite operators and terrestrial service providers will be crucial in maximizing the transformative benefits of satellite technology and in fostering affordable, resilient and meaningful universal connectivity for all."
