6. The Galileo concession process
The concession will be released for 20 years
The GJU to select and negotiate the contract, now passed to the GSA
Main differentiating factors:
Public Sector’s asset ownership since the start of concession
Market uncertainty
Technology immaturity
Design is developed under a different contract
Potentially high third party liability
Concession contract main risk area:
Cost overrun, Completion , Revenues, Performances, Design, Asset coverage and liability management, Deployment program, Compensation on termination
EURELY Consortium (Core members: Alcatel Participations S.A., Finmeccanica, Autoroutes du Sud de la France, AENA, HISPASAT)
iNAVSAT Consortium (Core members: INMARSAT Ventures Plc, EADS Space Services, Thales SA)
In June 2005, the two consortia have delivered a joint proposal, which was considered positively by the evaluators for starting negotiation with the joint consortium.

7. The Galileo differentiators
Under a regulated entity (European GNSS Supervisory Autority)
To preserve the public interests
In a commercial PPP scheme
To develop the GNSS market and implement contractual schemes
Technical advantage
High performance – possible signal encryption and authentication
Integrity

Transparency, auditability and record of past performance
To provide service guarantee and quality of service
Shortcomings of existing systems:
Not designed as a civilian system
No contractual operator
Only 1 signal for civil users
Performance levels that make it unsuitable for numerous commercial and safety of life applications
No service warranty
No signal integrity

Galileo Services
EU Transport Council Decision- December 2004
Open Access
Commercial
Safety of Life
Search and Rescue
Free to air; Mass market; Simple positioning
Encrypted; High accuracy; Guaranteed service
Open Service + Integrity and Authentication of signal
Encrypted; Integrity; Continuous availability
Near real-time; Precise; Return link feasible
Public Regulated
The following Galileo satellite-only services will be provided worldwide and independently from other systems by combining Galileo Signals in Space: 
The Open Service (OS) results from a combination of open signals, free of user charge, and provides position and timing performance competitive with other GNSS systems.
The Safety of Life Service (SoL) improves the open service performance through the provision of timely warnings to the user when it fails to meet certain margins of accuracy (integrity). It is envisaged that a service guarantee will be provided for this service.
The Commercial Service (CS) provides access to two additional signals, to allow for a higher data throughput rate and to enable users to improve accuracy. The signals are encrypted. It is envisaged that a service guarantee will be provided for this service.
The Public Regulated Service (PRS) provides position and timing to specific users requiring a high continuity of service, with controlled access. Two PRS navigation signals with encrypted ranging codes and data will be available.
The Galileo support to the Search and Rescue service represents the contribution of Europe to the international COSPAS-SARSAT co-operative effort on humanitarian Search and Rescue activities. Galileo is to play an important part of the Medium Earth Orbit Search and Rescue system (MEOSAR). Galileo satellites will be able to pick up signals from emergency beacons carried on ships, planes or persons and ultimately send these back to national rescue centres. From this, a rescue centre can know the precise location of an accident. At least one Galileo satellite will be in view of any point on Earth so near real-time distress alert is possible. In some cases, feedback could be sent back to a beacon, something which is only made possible by Galileo.
Extract from MRD:
for mass market navigation applications and competitive to the GPS Standard Positioning
Service and its evolutions;
- A Safety of Life Service (SoL) – compliant to different standards in the aeronautical, maritime
and rail domains. The SoL includes Integrity and Authentication capabilities. The SoL
includes service guarantees;
- A Commercial Service (CS) - generates commercial revenue by providing added value over
the Open Service, such as by dissemination of encrypted navigation related data (0.5 kbps),
ranging and timing for professional use - with service guarantees;
- A Public Regulated Service (PRS) - for applications devoted to European/National security,
regulated or critical applications and activities of strategic importance. The PRS will provide
robust and encrypted signals, under Member States control;
- A Search and Rescue Support Service (SAR) - provides assistance to the COSPAS-SARSAT
system by detecting Emergency Beacons and forwarding Return Link Messages to the
Emergency Beacons.

10. Global Improvement of Performances
Galileo + GPS + GLONASS + SBAS= Better Services
GALILEO complements GPS as:
The users will be able to use the same receiver to receive both GPS and GALILEO signals
The availability of two or more constellations, more than doubling the total number of available satellites, will enhance the quality of the services, increasing the number of potential users and applications
Improved accuracy (better geometry,…)
Optimum integrity (Galileo integrity, redundancy,…)
Increased availability (urban canyons, buildings,…):
GPS in cities: 50 % availability
Galileo + GPS in cities: 95 % availability
With Galileo, GLONASS, GPS and SBAS you can see more satellites e.g. in urban canyons

11. Overall Market Forecasts
Market forecast indicates 2.5 billion Galileo Users by 2020
Galileo user community is foreseen to be dominated by mass market (for the 2020 about 90% of the users will be related to mobile phone integrated with GNSS receiver and Vehicle Telematics)
It is assumed that a joint Galileo / GPS receiver will become the default by 2012 (for mass market use)
Revenues are expected by both Products and Services
The Product related revenues will dominate the market while the Service related revenues will continue to grow
Worldwide Revenues in 2025:
> €450 billion
