2. 2Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008) How is IPoS attractive as a business opportunity? How is IPoS attractive as a business opportunity?

3. 3Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008) What Technologies is IPoS Replacing? IPoS has the objective of replacing previous VSAT systems for satellite internet IPoS has the objective of replacing previous VSAT systems for satellite internet In order to use these systems you had to be under the particular operator’s footprint, using only its technology In order to use these systems you had to be under the particular operator’s footprint, using only its technology This forced users to only subscribe to their satellite provider and to be forced to pay whatever the provider felt fit as an acceptable rate This forced users to only subscribe to their satellite provider and to be forced to pay whatever the provider felt fit as an acceptable rate

4. 4Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008) IPoS as a Business Opportunity There are many potential winners from the implementation of IPoS, according to Hughes Network Systems these include [1]: There are many potential winners from the implementation of IPoS, according to Hughes Network Systems these include [1]: Residential and Corporate End Users Residential and Corporate End Users Applications Developers Applications Developers VPN Application and Appliance Vendors VPN Application and Appliance Vendors A/V Streaming, and Multimedia Appliance Vendors A/V Streaming, and Multimedia Appliance Vendors PC Hardware, OS, and Appliance Vendors PC Hardware, OS, and Appliance Vendors Satellite Operators Satellite Operators Service Providers Service Providers Satellite Terminal and Appliance Developers Satellite Terminal and Appliance Developers Hub Manufacturers Hub Manufacturers

5. 5Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008) How will the ‘winners’ make money? Satellite Operators: By selling transponder capacity Satellite Operators: By selling transponder capacity Application and Appliance Vendors: By creating software and Hardware systems compatible with IPoS Application and Appliance Vendors: By creating software and Hardware systems compatible with IPoS Service Providers: By offering users access to the internet through IPoS connected networks Service Providers: By offering users access to the internet through IPoS connected networks

6. 6Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008) How will the ‘winners’ make money? PC Hardware, OS, Appliance Vendors: By selling more advanced systems that can take advantage of full-broadband PC Hardware, OS, Appliance Vendors: By selling more advanced systems that can take advantage of full-broadband Hub Manufacturers: By Developing equipment that works well with the IPoS standard Hub Manufacturers: By Developing equipment that works well with the IPoS standard End Users: Will benefit through lower costs and better service End Users: Will benefit through lower costs and better service

7. 7Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008) But what are the Costs? For Users: For Users: Monthly Service Fees (as low as $30-40/month) Monthly Service Fees (as low as $30-40/month) Equipment (many times included in monthly fee) [5] Equipment (many times included in monthly fee) [5] For Satellite Operators: For Satellite Operators: Existing Transponder Capacity can be Used (no cost) Existing Transponder Capacity can be Used (no cost) New satellites could be launched (80 million $ each) [10] New satellites could be launched (80 million $ each) [10]

8. 8Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008) Making Money Hughes Network Systems wished for its standard to be open for the greatest amount of interoperability between satellite systems Hughes Network Systems wished for its standard to be open for the greatest amount of interoperability between satellite systems This means that a host of application developers can develop software to be run on IPoS systems with the assurance that it will work on a wide variety of networks. This means that a host of application developers can develop software to be run on IPoS systems with the assurance that it will work on a wide variety of networks. More Users of an application means more potential for greater profits More Users of an application means more potential for greater profits

9. 9Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008) Saving Money An IPoS terminal is 30-40 percent cheaper than using other satellite terminals [9] An IPoS terminal is 30-40 percent cheaper than using other satellite terminals [9] “there are several satellite operators who can offer global coverage without any investments in expensive terrestrial networks which is good news for ISPs.” [5] “there are several satellite operators who can offer global coverage without any investments in expensive terrestrial networks which is good news for ISPs.” [5] Laying cable across the Atlantic costs 175 million dollars, much more than what it costs to develop and launch a successful comsat [10] Laying cable across the Atlantic costs 175 million dollars, much more than what it costs to develop and launch a successful comsat [10]

10. 10Sebastian Coe - IPoS (TIA-1008) What Technology could Threaten IPoS? WiMax: WiMax: A cheap solution for areas that cannot get traditional access to Cable and DSL technologies [9] A cheap solution for areas that cannot get traditional access to Cable and DSL technologies [9] Does not require the setup, launch, and maintenance of expensive satellite technologies Does not require the setup, launch, and maintenance of expensive satellite technologies
