β¦ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with dimensioning the potential market for Satellite-Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (S-UMTS) terminals in Europe.
In order to size the market, the satellite component is assumed to play a complementary role to its terrestrial counterpart. According to this role, the market segments for S-UMTS and potential users for each terminal type have been identi"ed. Di!erent terminal types have also been categorised according to their supported level of mobility and their usage type: whether for individual usage or for group usage. A mapping is made between the terminal types and the potential user groups.
The market size for each terminal type is predicted using the Logistic model, taking into account the tari! and the wealth of each individual country in Europe. Analysis is performed for EU15 and non-EC European countries for each terminal type under consideration.
