½ Many regions in the world suffer from a 

  
 
 à isolation of population, low growth, no communication
means, no commercial or cultural exchange«.
½ Those concerned regions, on the other hand, have a 

which needs to be educated, cured, informed and trained to better participate in
their country¶s development
½ mnfrastructures and skills ( teachers, universities, hospitals, administrations«) are

  
   for most of people, as territories are very
large, with sometimes quite a low density, and a weak financial investment power
m
 
  


½ mCT and satellite solutions provide a unique answer to this problematic, as it offers
performing and reliable communication means that can

½ Characteristics à
£ 
4à Users do not have technical skills or awareness but need to use mCT for their
activities
£ Need for  5, m

 
à Users rely on these solutions to benefit from a
concrete knowledge and training to be used in real cases (firemen, doctors, ...)
£ The solution must offer 6  
 because people have a professional activity that cannot always
match with the constraints imposed by the existing face-to-face training system. Many workers
cannot exclusively go to dedicated learning centres at fixed time, but prefer accessing the courses
from home or office, at the most convenient time
£ Vocational Training all along the life can be mandatory for some activities, to maintain and up-date
professional expertise
£ Vocational Training mainly addresses specific communities of users with specific usage and needs,
but which can be spread in many regions interesting other users
½ Required basic Featuresà
£ 4 7
àDistribution of contents which can be accessed at anytime from anywhere
£ á
à The learner shall enter in the live session when he wants, when he can, ... without
disturbing the others
£
 
&5à As a lot of practical training teachers/students are filmed in real
conditions, it is essential to see and hear in a very high quality what is done and said by the
expert/teacher for practical training (surgery, car-repair, how to make a bend for firemen«.)
£ m


à The teacher and the learners sometimes have a crucial need to dialogue or to get an
immediate feedback or evaluation
