On a separate item, the FCC's International Bureau also granted SkyTerra's application for a modification of certain terms of its ancillary terrestrial component (ATC) authorization. This approval allows SkyTerra to implement its Cooperative Agreement with Inmarsat and deploy a robust terrestrial mobile broadband network, which will be integrated with SkyTerra's satellite network.
"We're very encouraged that the FCC has already started to realize the promise of its Broadband Plan," said Alexander H. Good, chairman, chief executive officer and president of SkyTerra. "The FCC said in the Broadband Plan that it wanted to accelerate efforts to make L-band usable for broadband ATC service. These two orders do exactly that. Approving the transfer of control brings Harbinger's resources and demonstrated operational commitment to our ATC vision. Approving our modification request makes it possible for us to provide a full measure of spectrum for mobile broadband. We at SkyTerra commend the staff for its diligence, thoughtfulness and professionalism, and Chairman Genachowski for his leadership on this issue."
Later this year, SkyTerra plans to launch the first of two satellites for coverage of the U.S. and Canada, which are expected to be among the largest and most powerful commercial satellites ever built.
