From NYC to Haiti: Re-Learning the Disaster Preparedness Lesson The primary lesson learned from the international disaster-recovery effort in Haiti - as well as from the rebuilding program currently underway - is the same lesson learned in New York City, in Indonesia and wherever disaster strikes. We have learned that preparedness is key. This session will explore three aspects of the preparedness challenge: The development of rapidly deployable and pre- positioned telecommunications disaster-recovery networks; an upgrade path to support medium and long-term development requirements; and closer co-ordination among disaster-preparedness stakeholders such as local government, USAID, NGOs, U.S. DoD, UN aid agencies, and other groups involved in disaster response and development.

Meeting Media’s Future Demand for Satellite Capacity SATCON Media & Entertainment Track When consolidation swept the owners of satellites serving North America beginning in 2006, broadcasters feared that the result would be less capacity A Call to Action: Working Together to Combat at higher prices, as operators rationalized their fleets for profitability. How Satellite Interference has it worked out in practice, and what do we expect in the coming years? Some broadcasters say that capacity is scarce while others believe there is For over 30 years we have seen extraordinary year-over-year growth in the use too much. And what about the satellite operators: what is the right balance of satellite services in the media, government, military and enterprise sectors. of committed and available capacity for them?

Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI) continues to threaten together both the buyers and providers of satellite bandwidth to address just about everyone involved in the supply-chain of the satellite business. these questions. Fortunately, there is an initiative that several global satellite operators have embarked upon that is promoting an interference free environment. Some of the topics to be addressed will include a discussion of the initiative and its components, timing and evaluative measures and costs.
