Abstract
Twenty years after Resolution 18 and the paper satellites saga, administrative due diligence and satellite network cost recovery continue to be applied in much the same form as they were developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s. They are both success stories, yet both subjects continue to be raised as issues, most recently at the 2010 plenipotentiary conference in Guadalajara, and the 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12) in Geneva. Although the satellite network filing backlog is today essentially nonexistent, the number of satellite network filings submitted and the apparent congestion of the GSO do remain a challenge. In other words, we find that the phenomenon of “virtual satellites” persists (Fig. 7.1).
