Bjorgo, Einar. "Space Aid: Current and Potential Uses of Satellite Imagery in UN Humanitarian Organizations." US Institute of Peace (30 April 2002).
"With more satellite sensors in orbit, which will bring down prices and promote less constrictive copyrights, and with enhanced computer power and more user-friendly analysis software, EO [Earth Observation] data are positioned to become a routine part of operational decision making to support humanitarian activities. UN organizations should unify their combined efforts to include and maximize the benefits of this tool for humanitarian assistance."
Just came across this one, part of a USIP project on virtual diplomacy. Interesting how copyright issues (here, access to satellite data) become enmeshed with humanitarian efforts. How about an open access/source space project to offer free guidance to self-organizing multitudes? sz
