This thesis will examine the utilization of the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) regime by Global Mobile Personal Communications by Satellite Systems (GMPCS) operators and the requirements that governments must fulfill in order to acquire orbit/spectrum resources from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for the purpose of deploying GMPCS. In addition, it will study the administrative obligations to consult and notify the International Satellite Organizations (ISOs) of the proposed LEO-based satellite systems so as to prevent technical incompatibility and economic harm to existing ISO systems. The regulations of three ISOs, namely the International Satellite Organization (INTELSAT), the International Maritime Satellite Organization (INMARSAT) and the European Telecommunications Satellite Organization (EUTELSAT) will be examined in this context. Also included is an examination of United States regulations (as exemplar of regulations in a developed country) and regulatory recommendations for GMPCS consumer countries, in particular, less developed countries (LDCs), such as Thailand.
