Inmarsat CEO Sukawaty to FCC: Where's the love for satellite?
March 20, 2010
Inmarsat CEO Andrew Sukawaty questions if the Federal Communications Commission is seriously considering satellite as a viable solution to America's broadband needs. His satellite service customers include broadband providers in the U.S. that bring high-speed Internet connections to hard-to-reach areas through satellite feeds. Inmarsat's main business comes from military and governments and businesses (oil rigs, construction sites, etc.) that can't tap into fiber optic, cable connections or wireless cell services. He doesn't see much that includes satellite as part of the nation's future broadband plans.
