Abstract

Using a constellation of several hundred low-Earth-orbit satellites — a global, broadband “Internet-in-the-sky” — Teledesic will enable affordable access to fiber-like telecommunications capability anywhere in the world. The Teledesic Network will allow local Service Providers to extend their networks in terms of both scope of services and geographic reach. It will be a local service provided through a global network.
