| Intelsat Responds to Unfair Business Practice Complaints |
| Date:2010-04-19 09:00 Hits: |
| Satellite operators Artel, Caprockand Globecommfiled complaints with theU.S. Federal Communications Commission(FCC) and called for a congressional and regulatory inquiry over alleged unfair business practices employed byIntelsat, the operators confirmed. The companies claim that since Intelsat was privatized in 2000, the operator has dominated the U.S. bandwidth market. The operators referred to the FCCs mandate in the 2000 Orbit Act to annually review Intelsats business practices as the base for their proposed call for action. Intelsat Director of Investor Relations Diane VanBeber toldSatellite TODAYthat the complaints have no merit and claimed that the operators actions are motivated by theU.S. Navys $536 million award to Intelsat General for its CBSP program over Artel, Caprock and Globecomm. The comments filed at the FCC by the unsuccessful bidders for the CBSP program have no merit and reflect a fundamental lack of understanding of the requirements of the Orbit Act. Intelsat is fully compliant with the Orbit Act, as the FCC has repeatedly found. We will respond in due course in the FCC proceeding, VanBeber said. Artel, Caprock and Globecomm previously filed complaints with theU.S. Government Accountability Office(GAO) over the CBSP contract award. The GAOs review is underway. |
