“Satellite networks offer a useful solution primarily for areas that are not covered by terrestrial networks (either wireline or wireless), e.g. where the existing networks have ‘not spots’ (localized areas where there is no coverage). Despite their cost and capacity limitations, satellite technologies can therefore play a valuable role in broadband access.” - Developing Successful Public-Private PARTNERSHIPS TO FOSTER INVESTMENT IN UNIVERSAL BROADBAND NETWORKS - ITU Report Feb 2013
