SwiftBroadband Feasibility Study:WP2 - Competitive Issues

The report maintains that competition is necessary and good. however where competition exists…

Interoperability is essential! Means to ensure interoperability

Acceptability Criteria AMS(R)S SARPS Technical Manual

The pragmatic approach…..

ANSPs should make that the job of their service provider!

Discussion Thoughts - Points

Interoperability – Internetworking

What are the means to ensure interoperability?

What is the emerging common vision (assuming there is one)?

Can we envisage (in the future) different satellite payload operated/owned by different entities (commercial and/or public) supporting transparent to the user global coverage?

Are the new generic SARPs sufficient? Do we need something else?

Minimum boxes?

Who pays for the development of a standard?
