Teledesic
By: Thomas R. Eisenmann, Daniel J. Green and Douglas R Rogers
Abstract
Management of a satellite-delivered broadband data communications company sets strategy in an uncertain environment, using Michael Porter's scenario planning tools to assess likely outcomes and determine which actions to take. This case draws a distinction between broadband access and backbone providers, examines ISP economics, and raises questions about how to execute vastly ambitious, risky strategies.
