Forecasted broadband satellite service revenues are projected in Figure 1 over the next eight years, growing from $2.2B this year to over $40B and contribute 30 percent of broadband service revenues worldwide. Thus, there is considerable economic motivation for today's heavy investment in next-generation broadband satellite systems by a number of players. [1]
