Episode 30: The Old Space isn't the New Space! with Doug Mohney Part 1

If you used your phone, tablet, car, etc. you almost certainly connected to a Satellite. There are Satellite constellations being deployed, right now, to deliver more connectivity to more people than in the history of the world. They are also able to see more of our lives – whether we want them too or not. Is that a good thing, a bad thing, or just a thing? Join me in this two-part series with Doug Mohney, editor in chief of Satellite IT Bridge as we discuss this and more, on the next QTS Experience.

About Our Guest:

Space IT Bridge is focused on helping business leaders and IT decision makers understand emerging business opportunities delivered by a growing number of space-based satellite networks. The new SpaceIT site will track the business climate of this emerging and exciting market, including: standards debates, deployment case studies, new product launches, mergers and acquisitions, financial results and IPOs, and more.

This effort will help new space companies on how to leverage best practices in IT, such as open standards, open source, cloud computing, APIs, Big Data, analytics, and machine learning. At the same time, Space IT Bridge will help the IT and consumer worlds recognize and embrace new opportunities offered by cubesats, imaging, and low earth orbit (LEO) satellite clouds.
