Abstract
Adequate telecommunications facilities to meet both internal and external telecommunications requirements are important prerequisites for a country´s development. The International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (INTELSAT) has been cognizant of this fact, and has endeavored to respond to the needs of the developing world in a variety of ways. This paper discusses why developing countries have turned to INTELSAT to meet their telecommunications requirements, how INTELSAT has responded to this need and fostered such usage, and what activities INTELSAT is contemplating for the future which are likely to continue and improve upon this trend.
