This year may be remembered as one of the most challenging, if not paradoxical years for the communications satellite industry. Despite several satellite communications service operators facing overcapacity, pricing pressures and flat to declining revenues, record amounts of additional capacity will be launched before the second quarter of 2017, and even greater capacity is under development for deployment by the end of the decade. Moreover, an incredible venture capital infusion of $1.8 billion into the industry in 2015--far more than invested over the prior decade--has enabled "New Space" ventures, including low Earth orbiting, or LEO, and other planned nongeosynchronous orbit broadband constellations, to add even more capacity.
