Over the past 40 years, satellites have played a key role in
creating a global culture, spreading worldwide entertainment,
stimulating technological interchange, and promoting trade around
the world. "Communications Satellites: Global Change Agents"
addresses communications satellites not only in terms of the
technology and the services they provide, but also with
consideration of the technology's impact in socio-political,
security, economic, policy, news, entertainment, and cultural
spheres.
Editors Joseph N. Pelton, Robert J. Oslund, and Peter Marshall
bring together contributions that place satellites into a broad
context and examine how they influence and define today's world.
Written in a non-technical, reader-friendly style, chapters
investigate how satellite communications work and explore the role
of satellites in such arenas as:
*news and entertainment systems around the world;
*Internet, E-business, and the new global economy;
*global television and radio channels;
*military operations; and
*education, health services, economic development, and electronic
immigration.
"Communications Satellites: Global Change Agents" examines what
satellites have been and projects how they will evolve in the
future, articulating what they mean to the world today and
forecasting what they will mean tomorrow. As the definitive source
on communications satellites and their role in today's world, this
volume serves as a valuable, unique, and timely resource for
scholars and students in telecommunications, communication and
technology, mass communication and society, and broadcasting.
