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 8) Proposed use of in-orbit spare satellites will improve redundancy and reliability Requests for additional flexibility ~1Necessary 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 y<MSV -- -- - I - A- 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 6 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 Q US technology leadership and jobs requires speedy regulatory decisions
