Satellites and Orbital Technology Get There, Get Share, Make Money A collision of established technology with the limits of light promises to decorate the troposphere with thousands of new satellites. With booming worldwide demand for communications services, focused on the global Internet, low earth orbit satellites can become worldwide carriers of last resort. Fiber optics and microwave are not competitors to the LEO's; they are complements. As fiber networks span the globe, reaching hundreds of cities with broadband services, and microwave links proliferate, the market for local access facilities will boom. Many areas lack basic infrastructure in the last mile. Others lack Internet connections, even in the developed countries. Covering the entire global population at once, LEO devices can command a potential market chiefly by the ability of engineers to finance, build, launch, and maintain these complex systems.
