MSV Seeking To Block Inmarsat's BGAN Service in U.S.

摘要

A regulatory blocking maneuver by a rival L-band satellite operator could delay the introduction of Inmarsat's new mobile broadband service in the United States. London-based Inmarsat is on the verge of being able to offer its Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) in the Americas via its second I-4 satellite. Launched Nov. 8, the satellite completed initial on-orbit testing in December and is being moved to its operating location at 64 degrees east longitude over the Indian Ocean, where it is expected to arrive in January.
