Changes in the technology, regulation and economics of the communications industry over the past three decades have presented increasingly complex challenges and opportunities. The transmission of voice, data and video content has been dramatically altered by changes in wireline, wireless and IP technologies. Carriers, satellite operators and other infrastructure providers have each tried to balance the quality and cost of their respective technologies. Similarly, broadcasters and other content providers have strategically tried to leverage different technologies and infrastructure to enable the most effective content delivery.
Technological developments, particularly the massive deployment of satellite dishes and the transition to digital from analog cable, have prompted a rapid acceleration in the introduction of new broadcasters and have increasingly led broadcasters to target a global audience. Content providers are increasingly offering their programming on a global scale. Broadcasters who appeal to a niche market, such as speakers of a specific language, are now able to reach their target audience worldwide. These content providers rely upon networks with the ability to distribute across all continents in order to achieve global scale.
In the last decade, numerous new content providers have begun broadcasting. Competition between networks for audience and revenue dollars and competition between service providers for customers, as well as satellite providers\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' offering local channels and localized content, are all catalysts for a larger number of channels becoming available. According to Euroconsult, the number of satellite television channels grew from approximately 1,000 in 1995 to more than 13,000 in 2005, and is expected to grow to more than 29,000 television channels by 2013. In 2003, there were 677 channels in the United States that targeted specific ethnic groups.
