Inmarsat-P Affiliate

Company Elects Board

A new company was formed re- cently to implement the Inmarsat-P global handheld satellite phone sys- tem, and a board of directors was elected at the first shareholders' meeting in London. The board mem- bers represent several nations, each holding an executive position in world-renowned telecommunication networks.

Olof Lundberg, director gen- eral, Inmarsat, and Daryll Smith, general manager, Telstra (Austra- lia) serve as directors of the board from Inmarsat.

Kazuo Yosida, senior manag- ing director of KDD (Japan), chair- man-elect of the new company, com- mented on the success of the meet- ing, "It was an excellent start to building a truly international, pri- vate enterprise. Within the next

Circle 333 on Reader Service Card few months the board will make decisions on the chief executive of- ficer, staffing, location, permanent name, and contracts for the manu- facturing of the satellites and de- velopment of earth stations."

When it commences operation in 1999, the new system will provide a unique, low-cost global satellite phone system, as well as data, fax and paging, using handheld pocket- size terminals.

Fully complementary with ter- restrial cellular/PCN, it will extend the benefits of mobile communica- tions to anyone, anywhere in the world.

The 38 affiliate investors from countries spanning six continents comprise many of the world's lead- ing telecommunications operators, a number of which are already ma- jor providers of mobile services.
