Roam-In Business Model
 Definition: Roam-In Service
  Effectively allows customers of GSM carriers to “roam-in” to satellite coverage
  Requires GSM customers to purchase a satellite enabled handset
 Roam-In Business Model
  GSM carriers will pay a monthly recurring charge per subscriber and usage
  Introduced as an additional service feature from GSM operators, and would
 appear on the customer’s bill from the carrier
  Satellite usage charges will appear as roaming charges on the customers bill

 Risk averse business and
 consumers willing to pay a
 premium for safety and peace of
 mind
 For use primarily in emergency
 situations
 Adventurous travelers to parks and
 nature areas, leisure boaters,
 ATV/4x4/snowmobilers, mountain
 bikers
 For use in emergencies and
 occasional communications
 Need for communication and vertical
 applications for business continuity
 and in remote areas
 All enterprise markets, including
 finance & insurance, transportation &
 logistics, extractive industries, oil &
 gas, agriculture, forestry, etc.
 Consumers and small business users
 living/working in areas where
 terrestrial coverage is poor
 For use for basic communication
Safety Conscious
Outdoor Adventurers
Industry/Enterprise
Rural Population
 First Responders, Public Safety
 Personnel & Essential Mission Critical
 Personnel
 Continuous coverage when terrestrial
 networks are unavailable
Government & Public Safety
A number of wireless market segments would benefit from the addition of TerreStar
service capabilities
Addressable Wireless Market Segments

slide15
 At a $20 monthly premium, almost 20% of cellular
 subscribers indicated an interest in purchasing integrated
 cellular/satellite services
 This equates to a potential total addressable market size of
 over 50M (270M US cellular market x 19.5% = 53M)
 10% of business cellular subscribers indicated they would
 definitely purchase at a $20 premium
 Bottom-up approach to defining addressable market results
 in 38M market size
 Achieving 38M market size depends on bringing equipment
 costs down to no more than $50 premium over standard
 cellular devices
 Earliest adopters will be government/public safety, industry
 verticals, and outdoor adventurers
