What it does

Japan's major satellite operator, describing itself as Asia's largest geostationary satellite operator; it also runs the SKY PerfecTV pay-TV platform and is building an Earth-observation constellation with Planet. In 2026 the holding company absorbed its operating subsidiary and took the SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation name.

Why it matters

AI is not a primary economic driver; it is on the map as a large satellite operator moving into 'space intelligence' (Earth-observation data) and as a partner of Planet Labs and a Starlink Business reseller in Japan.

How it makes money

Broadcasters, telecom carriers, governments and businesses pay for satellite capacity and connectivity, and households pay pay-TV subscriptions.

Space and next-generation infrastructure. Launch providers, satellite builders and operators, ground networks and the first attempts at running computing in orbit. Most of these companies have no AI business today. They are on this map because of what they carry, connect or build for the companies that do. Open the space lens.
