VIEWPOINT

Opportunity knocks for satellite sector
2008 started with a bump. The knock on effect of the sub-prime crisis and global credit crunch has now seen equity markets dive and a general global unease over a potential recession. But it is not all doom and gloom, and the satellite sector should promise plenty of ups, and the odd down, over the year ahead.
