The South Asian market, comprising the countries belonging to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) that include Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, is one of the world’s most underserved markets for telecommunications services.  Internet penetration in the region according to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is only 39 percent of the population of nearly two Billion as of 2020.  That’s nearly 1.2 billion unconnected people without access to broadband services.  

Whether by design or circumstances, the space industry has become inextricably involved in the war in Ukraine, and/or the repercussions from it.  The launch industry is suffering from major supply issues, joint ventures and partnerships have been canceled.  Both of these will have a long-term impact, changing the structure of the industry.  In complete contrast, satellites are making a major contribution not only to our understanding of what is happening, but also by providing much needed help to Ukrainian refugees.

On 17 May, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) will celebrate World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) with a spotlight on older persons and health ageing. The annual celebration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) marks the founding of ITU and the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865.

Everybody knows what “digital transformation” is, right?  It’s that thing where you put on the VR goggles, drop into the metaverse and turn into a dinosaur with pink earmuffs.  

Maybe not.  It’s certainly not what CapGemini and MIT meant when they coined the term in 2011.  It is, or is supposed to be, a foundational change in how an organization uses digital technology to deliver value to its customers.  

Digital Transformation is Hard

The vast forests of the tropics are givers of life. Eighty percent of the Earth’s land animals and plants live there. And more than 250 million of the world’s poorest people make their livings from the forest.  

Forests matter.  The trees of the Amazon produce one-fifth of the oxygen we breathe.  All the world’s forests keep more than 200 billion tons of carbon out of the atmosphere. 

"Space…The final frontier.” When we first heard these words spoken by the ‘Star Trek’ actor William Shatner as Captain James Tiberius Kirk of USS Enterprise on television in 1966, space was indeed thought of as humankind’s final frontier. Several years before, the USSR had taken humanity’s radio technology into this frontier with Sputnik-1. In 1965, the first commercial communications satellite had been launched, and a few years later American scientists, technicians, and astronauts pushed humanity’s frontier by landing on the surface of the Moon.

Satellite operator Intelsat  today named four seasoned aerospace and tech leaders to key financial and commercial roles.

In its 10^th year, NSR’s landmark Land Mobile via Satellite (LMvS10) report finds a significant revenue migration underway from narrowband to broadband applications. Though currently dominated by narrowband services, connected vehicles and High Throughput Satellite (HTS) Comms on the Pause (COTP) services are positioned as the fastest growing satellite land mobile sector markets through the decade.
