If you are responsible for satellite ground segment, you can do both at once by "going green". A typical teleport may have energy costs of $1 million per year, and energy prices continue to be unpredictable and rising. A 2009 benchmarking survey of three teleports in the US revealed the opportunity for energy cost savings of 20-40% from implementing short-term changes at minimal cost. The savings opportunity rises through planned retrofits with more energy efficient equipment and opportunities to offset costs with new revenue. And while saving you money, you just might be helping to save the planet. In this session, you will learn from energy efficiency experts and teleport
executives what the opportunities are, how to get started and the best strategies to ensure meaningful results.

ISCe 2008, June 11th, The View From Wall Street & DISA – The Analysts Speak: (Click this link for a PDF of slides from all the speakers from this panel.)  "Wall Street continues to remain bullish on the satellite communications sector, despite the current volatility in global markets. What is the financial health of those key satellite communications companies that do business with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), the Pentagon and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security? Will marketplace turbulence affect the government’s view of satellite companies and how contracts are competed for future services? This panel of Wall Street analysts and government officials addressed this question and others affecting the financial health of companies that do business with the military and government."
