     Background and Status
     Gating factors
     Q)
          Satellite service is operational; new satellites to be ordered after FCC
          action
          All user equipment will be enabled for full satellite service
     e    Proposed use of in-orbit spare satellites will improve redundancy and
          reliability
     Requests for additional flexibility
          Necessary to provide service in smaller cities and reduce deployment
          expense
     e    No harmful interference to lnmarsat or its customers
           - Potential uplink interference will be dramatically reduced from today’s levels
           - The proposed threshold for downlink interference is based on today’s accepted
              equipment standards


Mobile Satellite Ventures


           The rulemaking and application are ripe for action
             - Major FCC staff expertise developed in preparing the ATC Order
             - lnmarsat has made no new arguments
             -   NTlA has reviewed the application for impact to federal government
                 users
      Q)
           Public safety applications are a critical component of our national
           emergency preparedness
      Q
           Long lead time to launch new satellites; existing system has limited useful
           life
             - Existing customers, partners, suppliers, and investors need certainty

            US technology leadership and jobs requires speedy regulatory decisions
