European Satellite launcher wants to increase it US market

European satellite launcher Arianspace has announced its intentions to enter the United States satellite launch market. Currently non-US companies are locked out of US satellite launch opportunities. The US market it currently dominated by the Boeing-Lockheed Martin alliance, known as the United Launch Alliance. Arianspace is banking on the increased demand for commercial satellite launches due to the introduction of high definition TV and Apple's new iPhone, which will one day deliver television and Internet to its users. I doubt that the US Government will be quick to allow non-US companies into its domestic satellite market.
