 2     Background
        2.1     Frequency re-use and spot beam technologies: technological basis of High Throughput Satellites
        2.2     Examples of HTS in operation
 3     Current status of the 50/40 GHz frequency range for the FSS
 4     Justification of the additional 1 GHz FSS allocation (Earth-to-space)
 5     Examples of FSS applications relating to the additional spectrum needs to provide broadband services
