The 2012 Australasia Satellite Forum was held in Sydney on the 16th of April, to a sold out audience of Asia-Pacific Satellite executives and industry representatives.
The key-note address was given by Nationals MP Luke Hartsuyker, whose speech can be found here. The speech devotes a lot of time to the National Broadband Network and coalition criticism on it. He does go on to deliver in-principle support to satellite services delivering broadband to rural Australia, whilst reminding the forum of the Aussat issues. Whilst it is good to see the coalition engaging in this type of forum, it would be far more interesting to know the coalitions future policies regarding the space and satellite telecommunications sector.
The forum also attracted industry experts from NewSat, NBNCo, Arianespace, Optus, Telstra, Thales Alenia Space, Space Systems Loral, Hughes, and many other companies.
The day's program can still be found here.
