Business Wire, Feb 6, 2006

PEMBROKE, Bermuda -- Intelsat today announced that it has signed a contract with MediaFLO USA Inc., a subsidiary of QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), for capacity on the Intelsat Americas-8 (IA-8) satellite. IA-8, Intelsat's newest and most powerful North American satellite located at 89(degree) W, will support the MediaFLO USA network deployment by providing satellite bandwidth and connectivity to the MediaFLO USA transmitter sites for carriage of wireless multimedia distribution capacity it will make available to wireless operators in the United States. Anticipated content includes live, streaming video and audio, short-format content and IP data-casting.

Using Ku-band capacity, the newly operational IA-8 satellite delivers to and supports MediaFLO USA's terrestrial distribution network.

We're committed to working with our customers and partners in the development and support of new, leading applications and services, such as those enabled by the MediaFLO USA network, and look forward to supporting the growth of leading technology however we can."
