6. National Broadband Plans
PITA – Hawaii 6
“Satellite networks offer a useful solution primarily for areas that
are not covered by terrestrial networks (either wireline or
wireless), e.g. where the existing networks have ‘not spots’
(localized areas where there is no coverage). Despite their cost and
capacity limitations, satellite technologies can therefore play a
valuable role in broadband access.” - Developing Successful Public-
