About this Essay:

Middle East Satellite Communications and Internet via Satellite is the latest in a series of market research reports which cover the latest trends in satellite communications and associated technologies.

It focuses on the two main areas I believe are of interest to the industry, satellite broadcasting and Internet via satellite.

The geographic coverage of the report is the Arabic-speaking countries of the Middle East and North Africa, Iran, Afghanistan, Israel, Cyprus and Turkey.

The primary topics covered are DTH satellite broadcasting, satellite operations, point-topoint satellite links for ISPs and hybrid and two-way satellite-based broadband services.

It details major players in the region and current trends in satellite communications and provides a comprehensive database of key satellite players and ISPs in the region.
