Abstract :
Tecnological innovation and the growing demand for global personal communication services have opened opportunity windows, in space and time, for new commercial applications of satellites. This paper characterizes the competitive setting of preparadigmatic stage of this new industry as a time-based competition among coalitions of supply subjects who operate in different segments of the value system. Regulatory, R & D and industrial policy agencies play a crucial role in this game, pursuing a number of possibly conflicting national goals, such as the competitiveness of domestic industry and the efficiency of resource allocation. This requires new regulatory approaches at an international and national level (in the spectrum allocation, operating licence granting, standard setting, and tariff control) to explicitly take into account the effects of regulatory decisions on the allocation of the benefits of innovation among countries.
