CHAPTER ONE
1.0
Introduction
1.1
Background of the Study
Satellite
communication
was
not
an
integral
part
of
the
Nigeria
communications system until the early 1980s. Prior to 1981 communication within
Nigeria and between Nigeria and the outside world was not very effective. The
country relied on aging Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) Lines for voice, and
terrestrial microwave networks for radio, and television. International voice, video and
data communications links were limited, with most of such communications services
operated by the government run telecommunications monopoly.
Communication Satellite in the wireless age has the potentials of bridging the
digital gulf that exists between civilized and develop ingnation. If well used,
communication Satellite is a potent infrastructure of addressing technology
convergence for holistic national development. This paper examines Nigeria’s
technological efforts so far at bridging the Digital Divide through communication
Satellite. This discourse focuses on the uses and challenges of Satellite
communication in Nigeria.
1.2
Statement of the Problem
This focuses on the problems and prospects of digital broadcasting and satellite
communication in Nigeria.
The introduction of digital broadcasting and satellite communication helps in
speedy dissemination of information or news
1.3
Objective of the Study
The objective is to depict dark areas of what has been known and unknown
about the problems and prospects of digital broadcasting and satellite communication
in Nigeria. Here are the objectives that may be considered;
iii
a)
To determine the level of influence that satellite communication has on the
mass media.
b)
To understand the role of digital broadcasting and satellite communication
in modern day journalism
c)
To know how effective digital broadcasting and satellite communication is
in the spread of news to the Nigerian populace.
d)
To know the level of usage of digital broadcasting and satellite
communication by media firms.
e)
To understand the availability of digital broadcasting and satellite
communication to the receivers of news.
1.4
Research Question
 What influence does digital broadcasting and satellite communication have on
the mass media?
 What is the role of digital broadcasting and satellite communication in modern
day journalism?
 How effective is digital broadcasting and satellite communication in the spread
of news?
 To what extent do media firms make use of satellite communication?
 Is this technology available to the average Nigerian?
1.5
Significance of the Study
The research work will help the Nigerians especially the media to know effect
of digital broadcasting and satellite communication in the disseminations of news.
1.6
Rationale of the Study
It is important to note that despite the problems faced in digital broadcasting
and satellite communication in Nigeria, the future holds great promises as the
iv
prospects are promising to both the media practitioner and the receivers of media
content.
1.7
Scope of the Study
The focus of this work will be to know the problems faced in digital
broadcasting and satellite communication in Nigeria.
Besides, as a result of vast geographical structure, time and financial
constraints, the focus will however centre on using the outcome from this set of
people will be used to generalize the problems and prospects of digital broadcasting
and satellite communication in Nigeria.
1.8
Definition of Terms
Digital: representing a varying physical quantity such as sound or light waves by
means of discrete signals interpreted as numbers, usually in the binary system, as in a
digital recording or digital television
Broadcasting: the making and transmission of television and radio programs to a
large heterogeneous society.
Satellite: An object put into orbit around Earth or another planet in order to relay
communications signals or transmit scientific data.
Communication: The exchange of information between people, e.g. by means of
speaking, writing, or using a common system of signs or behavior.
Prospects: A chance or the likelihood that something will happen in the near future,
especially something desirable.
