Abstract
SPOT´s system and commercial background are discussed. SPOT Image Corporation´s commercial policies are considered as a model for global development. Issues discussed are initial commercialization, SPOT´s products and pricing, and satellite acquisitions. It is concluded that SPOT´s commercial approach established the standards for not only data suppliers but also for other business components of the industry. Marketplace economics have replaced government policy as the single most significant component affecting the growth of the remote sensing industry
