Abstract :
Many people think that the future of international communications lies only in the expansion and refinement of satellite facilities. However, cable and radio continue to play vital roles in the overall telecommunications picture. In the long run, the resultant mix of satellites, cables, and other forms of communication will be determined by what each form does best¿and at what cost.
