Navigating the Legal Issues for Satellite Networks: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract

This paper examines the legal issues associated with satellite networks, including data privacy, security, taxation, and copyright infringement. Satellite technology has revolutionized communication in many ways, enabling faster access to information, greater bandwidth, and expanded coverage of remote locations. However, these benefits come at a cost—legal risks may arise from inadequate oversight or insufficient enforcement of laws. This paper evaluates the extent to which current legal frameworks are addressing these risks at an international level. Furthermore, it presents potential strategies for improving the legal framework governing satellite networks, including strengthening existing laws and regulations, developing global standards for data protection, and increasing transparency in how companies use satellite technology. In conclusion, there is a need to balance the benefits of satellite technology with appropriate legal oversight to ensure that users are protected from potential risks associated with these networks. With appropriate legal governance, this technology can be used to benefit society without compromising user privacy or security.
