Research shows that companies with established programs of CI get greater profits for action than those of the same industry that does not have programs of CI. It is so important for that they to take decisions in companies of small or average port to know what it is for coming, as is for the presidents of the great companies listed in Fortune 500.

Thus,is possible to a company to be practising some form of CI and not perceive it. Any employee who visits an event, he reads a periodical, or talks with friends of the same economic sector, is making research (one of the components of the CI). But other components of the CI generally do not meet in the businesses.

Currently the CI add value to the collection of information and the strategical planning when introducing a system disciplined not only to the collection of information, but also when carrying through analyses and spreading its "findings" of form that are useful to the necessities of the decision takers.

The speed of the technological development and the growth of the global commerce, means that the current environment business-oriented is transforming more quickly than before. The entrepreneurs and average small professionals of the e companies, cannot more give themselves to the luxury to depend on the instinct or of the intuition when they take strategical decisions in its businesses. In much sectors (especially where the competition is each bigger time), the consequence to take a decision missed, can be to take the company to lose sales or to the bankruptcy.

Research shows that competitive intelligence increases the "level of comfort" of the strategical planning of the direction of the company. But after all what it is same Competitive Intelligence? Many confuse with Emotional Intelligence, others with Management of the Knowledge, others with Business Intelligence and still others speak in espionage. Prescott and Miller, comment that the "work of Sun Tzu on military intelligence, continues being read and are considered the father of intelligence.

For journalist Larry Kahaner, competitive intelligence is a systematic program of collection and analysis of the information on activities of the competitors and general trends of the businesses, aiming at to reach the goals of the company. Therefore, Competitive Intelligence or CI is one necessary ethical discipline for the taking of decisions based on the understanding of the current and future competitive environment.

From the time cable television was launched, many tech-savvy geniuses are continuously looking for ways to compensate the growing demand of the market. Hence, they have created the so-called satellite TV.

And from the time this new technology was established in the market, the satellite TV is significantly making the cable television a run for their money.

Basically, satellite television works through the use of satellites, particularly communication satellites. These satellites are the ones responsible in delivering more television shows all over the world. It has wider reach compared to the cable television because it is not restricted and dependent on "terrestrial signals."

Contrary to most popular beliefs, the use of satellite television is not actually new to this world. Its first discovery was in 1962 when the television signal was transmitted to the Telstar satellite from Europe, passing over North America.

However, the proliferation of satellite television only started in the modern world because of the continuous increase in the cable television subscription. Also, the lack of cable TV providers in some places of some countries prompted the consumers to opt to satellite TV.

The Technology

Basically, satellite television works just like any cable television that generates signals. The only difference is that the satellite television uses either geostationary orbit of about 22,300 miles way over the earth's equator or through extremely oblique position with steepness of more or less 63.4 degrees with an "orbital period" of almost 12 hours.

However, some people still contend that cable television works better than satellite TV. This, in turn, created an endless debate on these two giant monsters in the world of broadcast media.

Hence, for those who wish to know if satellite TV is really a better choice over cable television, here is a list of some of its benefits over cable TV:

1. Quality

Satellite TV has better reception signals than cable television. Hence, it creates better quality of viewing. This is based on the theory that cable television has inadequate "bandwidth." For this reason, it creates poor quality of signal reception.

On the other hand, satellite TV use digital signals, which creates better quality of images and sound coming from the station. In fact, some experts contend that images seen on a satellite TV have 2 to 3 times better resolution than the cable television.

2. More stations

Cable televisions usually have limited number of channels. This is due to the fact that cable television providers operate upon subscription. If a certain channel is no longer included in the subscription list, then, the viewer will not retrieve that channel.

On the other hand, satellite TV has more digital stations. This is because most of the channels taken from the satellite are transmitted directly by the television stations to the satellite, and from here, the stations are distributed to every home with satellite disc mounted on their roofs.

3. More access

The best thing about satellite television is that the subscribers can actually access any channels wherever they may be. This means that even if they are in the most remote part of the world, they can get access on the channels and watch their favorite TV show.

Indeed, it is pretty obvious why most people prefer satellite TV to cable television. However, only one thing is certain. Satellite TV will definitely cost more than cable television.

Nevertheless, even if it will even cost a million, as long as it provides quality pictures and resolutions, then, it is worth paying for.
