Key Issues for Inmarsat in 2006 Roll—out of BGAN in the United States — First responders and rural users will benefit if applications are approved at FCC in a timely manner — Oppositions by MSV are groundless and should not be allowed to hold up service to first responder, homeland security, military and commercial users L—Band Spectrum Coordination Impasse Needs to be Broken ‘ — The Mexico City Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) coordination process should be revived — The dlsputed spectrum that MSV erroneously claims |t‘loaned" to Inmarsat is ully—used by—Inmarsat.under—FCC—precedent;—as—well—as—the—principles—of————= the Mexico MOU and ITU requirements Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) — Inmarsat will apply for ATC when it reaches agreement with strategic partners — Inmarsat is best positioned to provide ATC quickly to first responders and rural users, since it will be integrated with its existing fleet of satellites and services ))\«, 10 bc \ inmarsat

Key Issues for Inmarsat for 2006 + Ensure that the Homeland Security/First Responder community incorporates MSS into their planning and procurement — MSS plays a key role in maintaining communications in emergencies — Demand and funding for MSS should be aggregated to the extent possible — Funding should be made available for pilot programs for MSS + Military users would be best served by predictable, long—term funding for MSS t mpan S — The Report should recommend designated funding for MSS and multi— year procurement for satellite services + Telecom Act Reform should not impose regulatory requirements that are not appropriate for MSS services )) 11 bgan inmarsat
