Abstract	This paper looks at the possible roles that the European Economic Community (EEC), as a pan-European quasi-governmental institution, might play in the management and organization of a European educational satellite system. The argument is made that there is a need for the EEC Commission to play an ongoing, regulatory role in this area. An examination of ways in which education and training might gain access to a satellite distribution system leads to a discussion of low-powered services and direct broadcasting services, including national systems, pan-European satellites, and possibilities for educational services on the ESA (European Space Agency) Olympus satellite, an integrated European-wide DBS (direct broadcasting services) system planned for the near future. The roles of different types of organizations in getting a satellite service operational are described, including international regulatory agencies, international consortia, governments, satellite owners and operators, channel operators, and program producers. Economic models for education and training on satellites are also described, i.e., the commercial model, the "must carry" model, and state ownership. Discussion of operating models for providing an educational service covers a free-for-all situation and an educational channel, and descriptions of several ways in which an EEC educational channel could operate includes open access for educational producers and a public service channel. It is concluded that there is a need for a consortium to bring educational television providers together, with the EEC providing baseline funding and a framework in which to encourage the development of an educational satellite channel.
