China's MMORPG Online Gaming Market

China had 25.3 million paying online gamers at the end of 2005, according to Pacific Epoch's 2006 China's Online Game Report. A pre-release version of the report is now available.

Instead of launching a satellite designed for a single, fixed purpose (like broadcasting specific frequencies to a specific region), SDS allows operators to modify, upgrade, and reconfigure a satellite's functions after it's in orbit, primarily through software updates. The ABI Research report highlights ...
