Caceres, Marco.  Uptick in GEO Commercial Satellite Orders.  Aerospace America 44:20-22 May 2006.
217 commercial satellites were launched (or had attempted launches) worldwide during 1996-2005. Authors forecast that approximately 176 will be built and launched during 2006-2015.  A graph illustrates these statistics.

Hebert, Adam J.  High Anxiety.  Air Force Magazine 89:34-38 January 2006.
Satellites help the Air Force maintain its superiority over other military forces, and if they were destroyed by enemy forces the US military would lose its effectiveness.  The US must continue to develop and protect its assets in outer space and refine its ability to get the information collected from them to soldiers in the field.

Iannotta, Ben.  SUMO Wrestles Satellites into New Orbits.  Aerospace America 44:26-30 February 2006.
The Spacecraft for the Universal Modification of Orbits (SUMO) is a proposed unmanned orbital tow truck that would use robotic arms and mechanical hands to grab commercial or military satellites and move them to new orbits without damaging them.

Muir, Hazel.  Space Crimes and Misdemeanors.  New Scientist 186:8-9 April 23-29, 2005.
Defunct satellites in the geostationary ring above the Earth are left to orbit there forever.  Unless satellite operators clean up their act, newer spacecraft face the prospect of colliding with the orbiting junk.

Tomme, Edward B.  The Myth of the Tactical Satellite.  Air & Space Power Journal 20:89-100 Summer 2006.
Many proponents insist that “tactical” satellites are a must-have asset since they give the tactical war fighter a significant advantage in the battlespace.  But the author argues that developing, funding, and producing these satellites constitute misdirected attempts to convince field commanders that satellite capabilities exist for battlefield exploitation.  He suggests that these proponents need to shift their focus toward the strategic realm, where measurable satellite effects can be meaningfully realized.

Author argues that the collection of weather data from future SBR platforms would significantly benefit operational- and tactical-level war fighters.

The author makes a case for keeping it this way.
