EX-99.1 2 ex99_1.htm PRESS RELEASE DATED OCTOBER 3, 2007

Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FCC and Industry Canada Approve TerreStar
Companies Milestone Extension

October 3, 2007 — Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted a request by TerreStar Networks Inc. (TerreStar) for an extension of its satellite launch milestone from November 2007 to September 2008. TerreStar had requested the extension because of certain manufacture and delivery issues experienced by its satellite vendor Space Systems/Loral during the construction of the satellite component of TerreStar’s next generation mobile communications network. These issues did not require that TerreStar request an extension of the FCC’s in-service milestone requirement.

On September 21, 2007, Industry Canada (IC) granted a request by TerreStar Networks (Canada) Inc. for a parallel extension of its milestone requirement under Canadian law.

“TerreStar greatly appreciates the prompt action on our extension requests by both the FCC and IC,” said Robert H. Brumley, President and CEO of TerreStar Networks Inc. “This regulatory clarity allows us to maintain momentum in building and operating North America’s first 4G integrated mobile satellite and terrestrial mobile communications network."
