Abstract

The International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (INTELSAT), with its extensive satellite system, has had important effects on foreign policy making throughout the globe. By successful international cooperation, INTELSAT has made extensive communication possible, reducing economic, political and cultural isolation and increasing access to information. The USA, who founded INTELSAT, is now planning to license satellites in competition with INTELSAT. The author argues that such action would be globally divisive, harm developing nations, and boost the rival INTERSPUTNIK. He makes an urgent call for the USA and others to continue to operate through INTELSAT and encourage its role in furthering enlightened foreign relations.
