Under close cooperation between the ITSO and ITU, the online basic course program “Satellite Communications and Radio Regulations Procedures” has been developed and put in place with the primary objective of raising awareness amongst individuals, organizations and institutions on policies, regulations, licensing frameworks and technical aspects associated with the provision of satellite communications services.

This course is based on two ITU products: The Last-Mile Connectivity Internet Solutions Guide and Broadband Connectivity Toolkit.

The Last-Mile Connectivity Internet Solutions Guide was developed to support the design and development of programmes and interventions that address the lack of Internet infrastructure availability in certain areas and high Internet service prices that make Internet connectivity unaffordable for local populations.
