North American Quarterly Supply & Demand Report

Transponders In Use

Published: Quarterly (March, June, September and December) by the Communications Center.

Format: Bound, approximately 120 pages per quarter.


Price: One year (four quarters): $4,299


Each quarter (March, June, September and December) since 1984, the Communications Center has examined each satellites spectrum utilizing its own C- and Ku-band earth stations at various times of the day and night and on weekends for activity on the North American domestic transponders.  

A significant portion of each report is devoted to quantifying the satellite operators' market share for supply and demand and the overall market share for scheduled video, occasional video and voice and data services.  This report is one of the tools the Communications Center uses in tracking fluctuations in transponder supply and demand.  This information is extremely useful for forecasting, planning future capacity needs and identifying where available capacity exists.
