Thus, tensions are steadily building between strong economic forces on the one hand, and the need to utilize the fabulous tools that remote sensing offers for comprehensive scientific purposes. Equally, subtly differing legal precedents and policies within different countries are now coming into open conflict, as a number of factors - the end of the Cold War, economic forces, scientific needs, and significant technological advances in both remote sensing technology and international transborder data technology - are pushing for immediate international sharing and collection of data. These legal issues involved differing traditions and laws between countries of copyright of data, roles of meteorological and data collection services, and national “cost recovery” data pricing policies. METHODS OF RESEARCH Methods of research include literature review, analysis of recent and on-going international agreements, and extensive interviews with “experts” and policy leaders in the U.S. government, Europe, the United Nations and developing countries. ISSUES OF INTERFERENCE IN THE INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE OF REMOTELY SENSED DATA Complex issues threaten to restrict and confuse the international sharing of remotely sensed data. These impediments can be broadly put into two distinct categories: economic and policy issues. Economic Issues In recent years, many of the crucial issues related to remote sensing data sharing (and indeed, all types of data sharing) have revolved around growing economic forces. These issues can be divided into the following topics: 41 The Growth of a Commercial Sector. The most significant economic development in the 1990s has been the enormous international growth of a private sector industry that is involved in both the selling of “value-added” remote sensing data products and, in some cases, actual generation of data by privately owned Sensors. Such companies as Accuweather and Kavouras now respond to a growing international market demand for value-added meteorological and remote sensing data products. As the cost of software and hardware systems for processing remotely sensed data has decreased (and their accuracy and power increased) dramatically in recent years, the ability of private companies (or individuals) to process and enhance remotely sensed data has vastly improved. Firms are now able to offer specific value-added products for particular market sectors. Also, the number of private firms launching and operating their own space-borne and airborne sensors has increased. This is due, in part, to the decrease in the relative cost of such projects, and the fact that technology for doing so is more readily available. In the U.S., for example, Space Imaging, Inc., a subsidiary of Lockheed, Inc. is designing a multispectral stereo land remote sensing satellite system capable of achieving resolutions of 1 m (panchromatic). Partly due to the end of the Cold War, political factors that would have inhibited the growth of the market for digital imagery are disappearing. For example, remote sensing Services of the former Soviet Union now work with individual distribution companies in the U.S. and Europe to sell and distribute high resolution imagery (up to 1 meter) formerly collected by Soviet military systems for profit. Another crucial factor in the development of the commercial market for remotely sensed images has been that of technology, including the exponential growth of international computer networks which facilitate the instantaneous transfer of digital International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
