Abstract

This report explores the2 various initiatives aimed at developing hybrid satellite networks in Europe, involving both the space segment and a terrestrial segment of repeaters that are compatible with the satellite network. The award of two pan-European licences is expected to spur the development of mobile TV services, as well as mobile telephony and broadband solutions.

Key questions

What potential do these hybrid networks have?
What is CGC/DVB-SH technology that makes it possible to develop this type of network?
How do these hybrid networks work?
Which players will rely on these hybrid networks?
What services will these players offer? Where is the added value?
What strategies are chipset/device manufacturers employing, and what agreements have already been announced?
How do these players plan on positioning themselves with respect to mobile operators: as partners or rivals?
