Di t d ti• Distance education; • Distance medicine;

VS t t k• VSat networks; • Broadcasting Direct To Home (DTH);

Governmental communications;• Governmental communications; • Other point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint to multipoint telecommunicationsmultipoint-to-multipoint telecommunications applications, etc.

of better quality communications to rural and remote areas

• Introducing ICT to the agriculture, manufacturing, services and

government sectors is one of the priorities for the development of

Mongolia

• Once available, communication by satellite provides an important

infrastructure which enables the transmission of information from

many points to many points as well as the implementation of

communications in short period of timecommunications in short period of time

• The experiences of developed countries show that they have

solved many ICT issues by launching national satellitesolved many ICT issues by launching national satellite
