Background and Status Gating factors Satellite service is operational; new satellites to be ordered after FCC action All user equipment will be enabled for full satellite service 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 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 Public safety applications are a critical component of our national emergency preparedness 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 3MSV - -- -- I - Mobile Satellite Ventures
