In just over a week’s time, the satellite industry will convene for one of the year’s first major trade shows – CABSAT. The Middle East and Africa remains a great region for satellite communications in many verticals. One of the region’s key players is undoubtedly Yahsat, a relatively new satellite operator that has made a big impression on the industry over the last 10 years. Back in 2009, Via Satellite conducted its first video interviews at CABSAT, speaking to Yahsat CCO Shawkat Ahmed about the operator’s plans which were still very much in their infancy.
