Abstract

This article summarizes recent research on the past performance and future prospects of Intelsat. In its early years discussion focused mainly on the dominant position within the organization of the USA. More recently Intelsat's monopoly position has been challenged to a certain extent by direct competition, the potential of submarine fibre optic cables, the effects of domestic deregulation in member countries and others factors. The author examines five paradigms which have been proposed to account for Intelsat's behaviour to date, and concludes by summarizing several recommendations for ensuring the organization's long-term financial and political viability.
