Public vs. Private Financing of Remotely Sensed Imagery Data - The Need for Both

It's easy to measure return on investment on commercially funded remotely sensed imagery; you can add up the costs and subtract them from the gross revenue of products sold. When such data are publicly funded, the equation is far more complex since the revenue value is rarely measureable in dollars paid, but rather in time saved, animals with a safe environment, floods prevented and the like. Bill Gale explains why both sourcing methods, in balance, are likely to contribute to a sucessful remote sensing future.


DigitalGlobe is the world leader for geospatial content and products. It is the only geospatial content company to provide an end-to-end solution for global acquisition, access and distribution of both aerial and satellite imagery.

Privacy International published this "Map of Surveillance Societies around the world." The accompanying text notes: "In terms of statutory protections and privacy enforcement, the US is the worst ranking country in the democratic world. In terms of overall privacy protection the United States has performed very poorly, being out-ranked by both India and the Philippines and falling into the 'black' category, denoting endemic surveillance."
