"We are very pleased to receive these authorizations from the Italian
Ministry of Communications for the launch of our service," said Noah
Samara,
Chairman and CEO of WorldSpace, Inc. "We look forward to working closely
with our partner, New Satellite Radio S.r.l., to implement our service and
establish a new generation of WorldSpace subscribers across Italy. Italy
is
an attractive market for us. Our research shows it to be one of the two
top
markets for satellite radio in Europe. WorldSpace is the sole player using
the only harmonized 12.5 MHz spectrum for satellite radio in Europe. We
continue to believe that the market for mobile satellite radio service in
Europe is larger than that of the United States, where XM and Sirius have
been hugely successful. Our strategy has been to roll out a European
service
on a sequential, country-by-country basis. Our goal was to obtain our
first
terrestrial authorization in one country in 2006. We have accomplished
this
in Italy, which we consider to be the best near-term market for a mobile
satellite radio service. We will continue to seek similar approvals in the
rest of Europe to achieve our goal of a pan-European satellite radio
service."
