WildBlue Communications A ViaSat Company January 2011

WildBlue Communications WildBlue is a “Broadband Internet via Satellite” service provider with approximately 420,000 customers in the 48 contiguous United States. WildBlue is a ViaSat Company Acquired by ViaSat in December 2009 ViaSat is publically traded (NASDAQ: VSAT) Headquartered in Denver, Colorado in the western U.S. Approximately 250 direct employees U.S. nationwide infrastructure with 2 Ka-band spot beam satellites, additional leased capacity on a third 13 Gateway Earth Stations Network Operations Center Business Systems Data Center Customer Call Center

Current Network Geography WildBlue-1 111.1W Satellite Ops Anik F2 111.1W AMC 15 105.0W Calgary, ALB (Telesat) Winnipeg, MAN Satellite Ops Seattle, WA Ottawa, ONT (Telesat) Duluth, MN Syracuse, NY Cheyenne, WY Denver, CO Headquarters Riverside, CA Satellites 3 Spot Beams 68 Gateway Earth Stations 13 Gateway Sites 8 8.1-9.0m Antennas 15 5.6m Antennas 5 Downstream Carriers  170 Upstream Carriers  2,700 Phoenix, AZ Laredo, TX Telesat Operates the 14 Canadian Beams on Anik F2.

Our Target Market is the Rural U.S. We have Historically Targeted Rural Markets Customer Demographics: Population Density Over 90% of WildBlue customers are in rural areas with <50 homes/km2 WildBlue will provide higher speeds and better service quality on the new ViaSat-1 satellite, competitive with DSL and terrestrial wireless in less rural markets.

Next Generation Network

ViaSat-1 Satellite Launches in 2Qu 2011 Breakthrough level of capacity via satellite 120-130 Gbps throughput 70% coverage of the US Includes Alaska, Hawaii coverage 17 U.S. gateways ViaSat-1 satellite will provide 12-15× increase in total satellite capacity 20-25× capacity increase in highest demand markets 6-8× gain in speed & bandwidth Anticipating rapid customer growth with the launch of the ViaSat-1 satellite Faster speeds at lower prices Up to 10 Mbps download speeds ViaSat-1 Satellite Space Systems/Loral

ViaSat-1 Network Geography U.S. Contiguous 48-States Coverage Region Canadia, Alaska, Hawaii Coverage not Shown

Viasat-1 – Extraordinary Capacity When we say we are increasing capacity – we are really, really serious. Here is an amazing chart. The left hand side shows the baseline designed capacity of ViaSat-1. (It may be significantly higher). The right hand side shows the combined capacity of every single Ka band, C band & Ku band satellite we can find over the United States. That includes the Ka capacity of ANIK F2, WildBlue 1, the advertised capacity of Spaceway 1, 2 & 3 all put together (even though Spaceway 1 & 2 aren’t even being used for data now), the Ka capacity on Echostar’s AMC-15 & 16 satellites & over 1000 36 MHz equivalent transponders on FSS satellites across the country. All that still does not equal the capacity on this 1 satellite. That should give you an idea of how substantially we are changing the game in terms of our ability to deliver cost effective bandwidth vs. any challenger in the US. The situation in Europe isn’t quite the same – but we & Eutelsat will have at least as big an edge in the data business there. There are no dedicated Ka band satellites in Europe & you can see that makes up about half the total data capacity in the US. We also want to make the point that this capacity is not just an attribute of the satellite we are buying from Loral. You cannot make a satellite that yields this capacity without the ground segment technology we have & are incorporating into next generation Surfbeam. We have spent a year working closely with Loral to get to the design we have. No one has yet even caught up with our first generation system. It is going to be very difficult to get where we are going in a single step. We think this is a big reason we have been able to make the strategic relationship agreements that are such a big part of our plans. ViaSat-1 has more capacity than all current satellites above No. America combined. 15

Summary

Summary WildBlue has established a highly successful Internet via Satellite business in the United States With the launch of ViaSat-1 in July, we will have more capacity than all other U.S. satellite operators combined ViaSat-1 will allow us to offer speeds up to 12 Mbps ViaSat-1 will make us much more competitive with extended DSL and wireless alternatives We will have the capacity to grow well beyond a million subscribers ViaSat and WildBlue are providing broadband solutions to other satellite operators to allow them to offer a WildBlue- like service in their region of the world Eutelsat in Europe YahSat in the Middle East Barrett in Canada O3B in southern Africa
