NGSO Licensing
Several types of license and authorizations may be required
 Spectrum Licence
o ITU satellite filings – e.g., Australia, China, India
o Satellite equipment – Exempted, Class license, Blanket Authorizations
– Type Approval
o Gateways – Coordination and License
 Service Licence
o We work with local service partners to acquire these authorizations
o Licensing varies from country to country
 IP Network
o Depend where the access points lie – it may require a license/authorization
 Space Operations
o launch and space operations licence

7. 7
Global licensing challenges - fragmented and complex
 Satellite operators require regulations that benefit end-users everywhere
o Regulations need to be clear, flexible and low cost
 The reality is very different and can hurt the countries themselves

8. 8
Current NGSO Landscape
Challenges at national level to NGSO systems
There is inertia in adopting national
regulations for NGSOs.
NGSO treated differently than GSO’s
National regulations should be the same as GSO’s.
The regulatory extension should be quick to adopt.
Some countries are protective of
national systems.
This hurts the provision of connectivity in a country.
Competition drives connectivity and economic progress.
Inexistent harmonized regulations. Adopt what other countries have done, eg:
equipment standards, blanket licences, exemptions.
High Fees for licences
Long Time for obtaining licences
Adopt cost recovery fees and immediate issuing of
licences/or exempt altogether.

9. 9
Policy making needs to foster connectivity
that benefit users
 Technology Neutrality and Competition
 Light touch Licensing
 Free circulation of equipment
 Self declaration of compliance to ETSI standards
 Cost recovery fee, or no fee approach
 Higher connectivity and sooner
 Access everywhere
 Mass market deployment
 Affordable Equipment
 Affordable Services
 High Quality of Services
Regulations that foster:
Are Win-Win-Win
(win for operator,
win for country,
win for the citizens)
