The Space & Communications Group at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its Exclusive Information & Communication Technologies 2005 Quarterly Outlook Presentation on Thursday, August 25, 2005 at 1:00pm EDT / 12:00pm CDT.

This briefing will discuss seven major broadband delivery technologies that compete with satellite for the last mile market. In addition, the briefing will discuss the strengths and weakness of each technology, and the long-term market prospects for broadband delivery via satellite.

"The unserved broadband market is decreasing as competitive terrestrial technologies continue to build out," notes Industry Analyst Max Engel. "As a result, satellite's greatest opportunity is in providing backhaul for these local broadband providers."

Those interested in participating in the conference call should send an email to Mireya Castilla at [email protected] with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state, and country. Upon receipt of the above information, a confirmation/pass code for the live briefing will be emailed to you.

"The greatest danger to satellite broadband is the rapid increase in the data rates provided by competitive technologies," says Engel. "If satellites cannot deliver speeds roughly comparable to terrestrial technologies they risk becoming a new version of dial up."
