PANOS LONDON New technology in satellite communication

PANOS LONDON > ONLINE - GLOBAL THEMES - Toolkit | Brief 2: "Now a cheap and easy way of receiving satellite signals could revolutionise communication in remote areas of Africa. So why aren’t African governments rushing to adopt this new VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminals) technology?

This briefing explains what’s behind VSAT, and the legal and policy changes that are needed to bring it to Africa’s poor and rural people. It aims to equip journalists with the information they need to question policymakers and to explain the issues to the public."
