ASC Network
In late 1994, the relatively new Afro-Asian Satellite Communications (ASC) Ltd., headquartered in Bombay, was nearing the selection of a manufacturer for its 2-satellite GEO system. However, the purpose of the ASC network is to provide communications links to hand-held terminals, much like the proposed LEO cellular phone networks. The ASC service area will at first be concentrated in Central and Southern Asia with later expansion to other parts of Asia and Africa. The first launch could come as soon as late 1997 (References 100-102).
