MSAT Telco opportunity assessment : final report / Telecom Canada.: Co24-3/1-85-021E-PDF
"The MSAT Telco Opportunity Assessment analyzed the opportunities presented by the MSAT program to the Telecom Canada Forum telephone companies. The study concluded that MSAT services, based on the current assumptions, were generally economically viable from a telco service provider perspective. However, in some cases the contribution was marginal and the economic risks were high, as highlighted by a long discounted payback period. Assuming that the commercial viability can be maintained or improved, the Forum telephone companies would intend to offer some or all MSAT services. A final decision to this effect would have to be based on a separate analysis of the various MSAT risks and opportunities at such time as service providers are required to make final commitments to MSAT. It is important to note that this report only deals with the viability of MSAT services from the perspective of a Forum telephone company providing those services. The viability of the MSAT satellite system itself is a separate issue, and is outside the scope of this report. In no way should any of the statements in this document be interpreted as support for the viability of the MSAT satellite system"--Abstract.
