Background and Status
Gating factors
    Satellite service is operational; new satellites to be ordered after FCC
    action
e
    All user equipment will be enabled for full satellite service
    Proposed use of in-orbit spare satellites will improve redundancy and
    re1iabiIity
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


     e   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
     e   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
     e    US technology leadership and jobs requires speedy regulatory decisions
