In August 2008 the European Commission issued a call for applications for pan-European satellite systems to provide mobile satellite services (MSS) in the European Community. This action was the culmination of several years of study, discussion and public consultation by the EC for the purpose of harmonising the use of the 2 GHz MSS frequency bands across Europe for various types of pan-European telecommunications and broadcasting/multicasting services such as high-speed Internet access, mobile multimedia and public protection and disaster relief. It was envisaged that fee harmonised introduction of systems providing mobile satellite services would contribute to the development of the internal market and enhance competition by increasing the availability of pan- European services and end-to-end connectivity as well as encouraging efficient investment. The evaluation and selection process is now under way and by the time of presentation of this paper phase one will have been completed. But how successful has this process been and will it have achieved its objectives? This paper takes a critical look at the selection process and evaluation criteria and discusses the extent to which this EC initiative has met its objectives - has this process indeed contributed to the development of the internal market, increased the availability of pan-European services and encouraged efficient investment?
