• Abstract:
  Dramatic technological developments are expected to make mobile satellite service (MSS) available within a few years. The new service, which appears to have great potential for Alaska, will make it possible to communicate with radios which are installed in vehicles (mobiles) or radios that can be carried in backpacks (transportables) virtually anywhere on the continent. It is anticipated that the impact on communication services in rural and remote areas will be substantial.
