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 Mobile Satellite Ventures
