However, at the start of 2018, that is definitely starting to feel a little strained.<\/p>\n<p>When talking about where satellite is headed this year, in this issue we are delighted to bring you exclusive interviews with Stephen Spengler, CEO of Intelsat, Karim Michel Sabbagh, CEO of SES, Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of Eutelsat, and Dan Goldberg, CEO of Telesat. Once again, Via Satellite is leading the way in trailblazing interviews with the industry\u2019s main influencers. You certainly won\u2019t see this line-up of interviews in other publications. This is what sets Via Satellite out from the pack, our reach, our editorial integrity, and bringing you the stories and interviews you most want to read.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as we move on from CABSAT, thoughts turn to Washington, D.C. and the SATELLITE 2018 Conference &amp; Exhibition, another key barometer for the industry. It promises to be a challenging year for many in satellite. Let\u2019s hope everyone can rise to the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This Issue<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!-- post id 286:
