Satellite Data Communications

Abstract

In this paper we provide a survey of the history, technology and economics of commercial satellite data communications. Technological and economic trends in satellite data communications are examined, and the differences between the satellite channel and terrestrial channels are emphasized. After a discussion of existing standard tariffed satellite data services and special tariffed data services we list some possible future data services which might be offered to take advantage of the special properties of satellite data channels.
