The Asian and Pacific region encompasses a vast geographical expanse, the largest in terms of both size and population. Satellite coverage is the answer to meet the diverse communication needs of its inhabitants, and the fledgling industry must be nurtured to fulfill its great potential.
I commend the work of the Asia-Pacific Satellite Communications Council since its inception in 1994 in promoting satellite technologies and expanding digital opportunities across the region. A non-profit organization, APSCC represents a range of space-related industries, government agencies as well as academic and research entities in Asia and the Pacific. It has nurtured a breadth of outer space communications activities, including satellite broadcasting, and helped develop the socio-economic and cultural objectives of the region.
I am certain APSCC will continue to promote international cooperation among satellite operators, service providers and government regulators in the Asia-Pacific region and encourage the development of new products, technologies and services.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has been at the forefront of radio communications for over 140 years and has been instrumental in facilitating global satellite communications. The Union plays a vital role in the management of the radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbits —finite natural resources which are increasingly in demand from a large number of services such as fixed, mobile, broadcasting, space research, meteorology, global positioning systems, environmental monitoring and, last but not least, communication services that ensure safety of life on land, at sea and in the skies.
We need to work together and build partnerships to bring the benefits of satellite communications to all inhabitants in the Asian and Pacific region — in bustling cities, in remote mountain fastnesses, in barren deserts, and in small island developing states. Reliable and affordable communications is critical for achieving our development goals and for building a people-centered information society.
