Satellite Spectrum and C Band David Ball Regional Vice President Asia-Pacific 11 December 2006

New 2006 Template - 2 Overview Intelsat is the largest FSS provider operating worldwide with a diversified, premier, blue-chip customer base –1,800 customers –Over 200 countries Unparalleled resilient and flexible communications network –51 satellites –8 owned teleports –Over 50 points of presence in 37 cities –Fibre connectivity Business is highly diversified by service and region, reducing financial risk and ensuring long-term stability of the company  $2.0 billion in combined pro forma revenue and $1.6 billion pro forma adjusted EBITDA of Intelsat (Bermuda) Ltd. in last twelve months ended 03/31/06 1  $8.3 billion in combined revenue backlog as of 3/31/06 1 Please refer to the current report on Form 8-K of Intelsat, Ltd. filed with the SEC on June 30, 2006 for a reconciliation of pro forma Intelsat Bermuda Adjusted EBITDA to net income of Intelsat, Ltd.

New 2006 Template - 5 C-Band Frequencies for FSS Standard C-band – MHz (uplink) – MHz (downlink) Extended C-Band – MHz (uplink) – MHz (uplink) – MHz (downlink)

New 2006 Template - 6 Importance of C-Band Frequencies to the Fixed-Satellite Service (FSS) Features of C Band –Broad geographic coverage – trans-oceanic connectivity –High availability and reasonable dish sizes regardless of rain zones –Distribution and connectivity efficiencies cannot be replicated at Ku- or Ka-bands, or via terrestrial means C-Band is used to provide: –Distribution of TV programs to cable head-ends around the world –Trans-oceanic connectivity –Backhaul services –Government/Emergency communication links –VSAT data links (e.g., bank transactions, corporate networks)

New 2006 Template - 7 C Band deployments C Band is the most widely used FSS band today –Standardised global allocation in 3.7 – 4.2 GHz downlink band Intelsat alone operates over 1800 C Band transponders globally Well established existing ground networks –100,000s of dishes worldwide These existing ground networks are extremely sensitive to interference and service can be wiped out by terrestrial services

New 2006 Template - 8 Indicative C Band Footprint

New 2006 Template - 9 Indicative Ku Band Footprint ° E Ku-Band Australia Horizontal Downlink Beam (Contours 52, 51, 50, 48, 46, 44, 42, 40 dBW)

New 2006 Template - 10 Main Threats from Terrestrial Wireless Systems to C-band Satellite Use Groups seeking access to FSS C-band frequencies include: –Fixed systems, referred to as Fixed Wireless Access (“FWA”) or Broadband Wireless Access (“BWA”) (e.g., WiMax systems) –Mobile systems, referred to as IMT-2000 (3G systems) and IMT- Advanced (4G systems)

New 2006 Template - 11 National Processes – Fixed Systems Administrations around the world are currently allocating frequencies below 6 GHz for fixed systems The focus has been primarily on frequencies around 3.5 GHz – MHz in many countries – MHz in some others – MHz in the U.S. and very likely in Canada Allocations are occurring on a country-by-country basis

New 2006 Template - 12 ITU Process – Mobile Systems WRC-07 will consider frequency-related matters for the future development of mobile systems –The ITU has identified a list of candidate bands that includes the band MHz –Other candidate bands include MHz; MHz; MHz; MHz; MHz; and MHz Fixed and mobile system groups are working to ensure that their respective services get access to as much spectrum as possible through the WRC process

New 2006 Template - 13 Sharing between FSS Receive Earth Stations and BWA or mobile systems is NOT Feasible Co-frequency operation of FSS services and BWA systems would impose severe constraints on both sides BWA systems are characterised by a large number of base stations and user terminals ubiquitously deployed ITU studies have concluded that protection distances of between 150 – 430 km are necessary to allow sharing between fixed or mobile systems and FSS earth stations –The FCC in the U.S. has reached similar conclusions Considering that a typical city has a radius of 15 to 30 km, sharing between BWA or mobile systems and FSS receive earth stations is not realistic

New 2006 Template - 14 Hong Kong -- OFTA has concluded that a separation distance of several km between the BWA and FSS stations is required, making difficult the deployment of BWA in the same geographic area as FSS Vietnam -- The Ministry of Posts and Telematics has warned that a separation distance for in-band interference of more than 1 km is unfeasible in urban areas because of massive deployment of BWA systems, making co-existence impossible The Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (“APT”) has warned that “to avoid interference in non-overlapping frequency bands … a minimum separation distance of 2 km needs to be ensured with respect to all FSS receivers” Sharing between FSS Receive Earth Stations and BWA or IMT Transmitters is NOT Feasible (cont’d)

New 2006 Template - 15 Cases of Interference from BWA Transmitters to FSS Receive Earth Stations Operating experience in Australia, Fiji and Indonesia, and field trials in Hong Kong, have confirmed the existence of interference problems –In the Hong Kong experiments, television signals feeding 300 million households throughout Asia were inadvertently knocked off the air In Bolivia, BWA interference to FSS earth stations operating in the band MHz was severe enough to interrupt reception of at least three TV channels in one city were BWA trials were conducted

New 2006 Template - 16 Current Interference Cases Interference has already been encountered in countries where BWA has been introduced: –Australia –Hong Kong –Fiji –Indonesia –Bolivia –Caribbean –China –Russia –Africa

New 2006 Template - 17 Growing International Recognition Recognition is growing about the extremely adverse effect that BWA and IMT systems will have on FSS C Band services: –ITUInternational Telecommunications Union –ABUAsia-Pacific Broadcasting Union –APTAsia-Pacific Telecommunity –APSCCAsia-Pacific Satellite Communications Council –CASBAACable and Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia –GVFGlobal VSAT Forum –PITAPacific Islands Telecommunications Association –SIASatellite Industry Association –SUIRGSatellite Users Interference Reduction Group –US DoDUS Department of Defence –Government Agencies in Australia and overseas

New 2006 Template - 18 Possible Candidate Bands for BWA and IMT S band 7 GHz Unused Planned Satellite Bands FSS uplink bands – extended uplink bands offer good potential Much further examination is needed to determine the most appropriate spectrum allocations for BWA / IMT services

New 2006 Template - 19 A Global View A global view is needed on this issue in order to preserve FSS services in the C Band spectrum for all users worldwide BWA / IMT services operating in the FSS band in one country can affect service in another country Intelsat is working with CASBAA, the Global VSAT Forum, and the Satellite Industry Association to defend FSS interests in the band at both a national and international level
