Abstract
The Australian Satellite Users Association (AUSSAT, later SATUsers)1 was formed in 1981 by a number of concerned individuals who believed that planning for a domestic satellite communications system was proceeding with scant regard for the interests of minor, non-profit, users. While much had been said about the potential benefits of the proposed system for the isolated and disadvantaged, there was every indication that its technical specifications, tariff schedules and operating conventions would be heavily influenced by the demands of television networks and by Telecom Australia's determination to protect existing terrestrial markets.
