“New Development in the Field of Satellite"

The 2005 Forum focused on space telecommunications and on how convergence, commercialisation and new regulations have impacted on the telecommunications market. The programme covered ESA SatCom, the World Trade Organization, the International Telecommunicatins Union, the digital divide and the response of the European Union to the new needs of the sector.

A number of experts in the field of law and telecommunications addressed the forum. In the morning the subject under discussion was the regulatory perspective followed in the afternoon by the business perspective. The meeting ended with a round table allowing time for discussion.
