International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (ITSO)

The International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (ITSO) is an intergovernmental treaty organization established to manage and promote the use of global satellite communications. It builds on the legacy of the International Telecommunication Satellite Organization (Inmarsat) to ensure that satellite services remain accessible, reliable, and affordable for governments, emergency services, and other authorized users worldwide. ITSO provides a legal framework for cooperation among member countries, facilitating the efficient use of satellite spectrum and infrastructure to support international communication needs, especially in areas where terrestrial networks are inadequate or unavailable.
