Abstract
A satellite data distribution method and system in which a subscriber can receive a data distribution service via a mobile communication system. The satellite data distribution system includes a mobile communication system having at least one base station unit communicating with the subscribers. The data to be distributed is transmitted from a center station of the satellite data distribution system to a satellite. The data is distributed from the satellite to the base station unit of the mobile communication system. Then, the data is distributed from the base station unit to the subscribers via the mobile communication system. Thus, a satellite data reception unit is not necessarily provided to each of the subscribers.
