The document discusses satellite internet's role in achieving universal service obligations (USO) by providing broadband access to remote areas. It notes that satellite internet can currently provide a minimum of 2Mbps speeds about anywhere, meeting the USO definition. However, the scope and definition of a USO, such as what download speeds and data allowances are required, have cost implications and may require public subsidies for remote installations. New high throughput satellite technologies provide more bandwidth and data at lower costs, making satellite internet a viable solution to deliver essential broadband services to low population density and remote areas as part of a USO.
