It is very surprising that hosts that represent satellite services do not have a
coordinated .SAT domain name, independently of countries or terrestrial commercial/governmental
organisations. Such a hierarchy would be independent of organisations because many
groups share most interests on the same satellite service. This would include for
example: na.inmar.sat: INMARSAT service for North Atlantic Ocean
sa.inmar.sat:
that for South Atlantic Ocean
io.inmar.sat: that for Indian Ocean
np.inmar.sat:
that for North Pacific Ocean
sp.inmar.sat: that for South Pacific Ocean
intel.sat:
Intelsat
hotbird.sat: Hot Bird satellites
etc... But would exclude commercial
products sold on earth, such as Canal-Satellite, which is a TV service, using the
space services and bandwidth sold by a satellite company. I think that such a domain
could be coordinated by the ITU committee in charge of world frequencies, with which
each satellite service has contracted an agreement.
