Inmarsat keen on sat-radio
“ Good long hard look at potential”
Inside Satellitehas reported on the various prospects for satellite radio over Europe these past few months. Now Inmarsat has confirmed its previously reported interest. A senior staffer told us on June 10 that Inmarsat’s recently established corporate development division was set up to pursue exactly this sort of opportunity. “Galileo is one of the ventures that we are more public on,” said our source, “and we are active looking at the Air Traffic Control possi- bilities in the US, and we have also been having a close look at satellite radio, as have other operators. Driven by the success of XM and Sirius, this is only natural.”
