‌	With an expert line-up comprising Jennifer Manner of EchoStar, Alex Epshteyn of Amazon, Mohaned Juwad of INTELSAT, and Daniel Mah of SES, this webinar was bound to attract considerable interest in the subject matter of how decisions made on global satellite spectrum matters impact satellite businesses everywhere. An audience from 52 countries benefitted from a penetrating dialogue which began by looking at the decisions coming out of WRC-15 and WRC-19 which had a significant impact on the panellists’ companies or the entire industry’s bottom line. A highly engaged global audience posed numerous questions, stimulating some very thought provoking answers from the panel and the webinar continued beyond its scheduled hour by a full 15 minutes at which time some questions still remained. You will find the written answers to these remaining questions on this page along with the opportunity to watch the recording of a great event.	‌
