		At the time, Asian communication platforms were rudimentary and entertainment was minimal; television stations in many countries went off the air in the early evening.
		The result was STAR TV, Asia's first satellite-delivered TV service, which, by 1993 had a viewer base of 45 million in 38 countries.

	Communications satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A communications satellite (sometimes abbreviated to comsat) is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the purposes of telecommunications.
		A satellite in a geostationary orbit appears to be in a fixed position to an earth-based observer.
		The first satellite of Molniya series was launched on April 23, 1965 and was used for experimental transmission of TV signal from Moscow uplink station to downlink stations, located in Russian Far East, in Khabarovsk, Magadan and Vladivostok.

	NASA Experimental Communications Satellites 1958-1995 - Contents
		The application to communications of a spacecraft that remains stationary with respect to the surface of the Earth was invented by Arthur C. Clarke and presented in an article in Wireless World in 1945.
		Satellites will maintain a niche in providing communications where it is too expensive to run a fiber and in mobile applications (such as ships at sea).
		The Applications Technology Satellite (ATS) series was conceived of as a follow-on to the successful experimental communications satellites of the early 1960's with the addition of other technology demonstrations, such as weather observation and investigation of the space environment.

		Objective: To demonstrate (for the first time), that several performing artists, all of whom would be separated by oceans and geography, could appear and perform together in the same live image (The image as place).
		Central to the "Satellite Arts Project" idea was aesthetic research that would use the performing arts as a mode of investigating the possibilities and limitations or technologies to create and augment new contexts, environments, and scale for telecollaborative arts.
		There was the first evening of surprise discovery; the second evening was populated by word-of-mouth and long distance telephone calls; and after the television coverage of the second evening, the third was like a mass televisual migration of families and trans-continental loved ones, some of which had not seen each other for over twenty years.
