This paper provides an overview of development plans and activity aiming to deliver Broadband mobile multimedia satellite services globally in the medium and longer terms. The BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) service, which is mobile satellite service (MSS) to be offered by Inmarsat, is planned to start in 2004 and will utilize the next generation satellite at L-Band. The service will provide the user data rates of up to 432 kb/s. This paper also provides an overview of the Skycast service developed by KDDI, which uses the VSAT with Ku-band to enable broadband and two-way IP transmission. Combining of the MSS and VSAT technologies is finally discussed for a complementary, longer term broadband MSS at higher frequency bands and at higher user data rates.
