Loral Skynet today announced the
availability of occasional use services on its far-reaching Telstar 10
satellite, covering Asia, Australia, parts of Europe and Africa in C-band, and
Korea, Taiwan, Macau and China, including Hong Kong, in Ku-band. Loral Skynet
is a subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications

Loral Skynet’s occasional-use service allows its customers to lease
fractional transponders on a part-time basis. Offered in 5-minute increments,
this service offers a cost-efficient platform for delivering breaking news
stories, planned events, or regularly scheduled recurring feeds. Loral Skynet
will initially offer satellite capacity on Telstar 10, and expand the service
to the new Telstar 18 satellite when it enters service over Asia, presently
planned for the second quarter of 2004. Ascent Media Pte. Ltd, through its
Singapore facility, will provide satellite booking and access management
services, enabling Skynet’s customers to package terrestrial services with
Telstar satellite capacity. Skynet’s occasional use services in Asia will
initially be available in C-band, expanding to Ku-band later this year.

“Loral Skynet has successfully offered occasional-use services in North
America and Europe for years and we’re happy to now bring this service to
Asia,” said Terry Hart, president, Loral Skynet. “Part-time offerings enable
many value-added end-to-end services including videoconferencing, business
television, pre- and post-production feeds, broadcast distribution of sports,
educational, ethnic and niche programming, special events, Internet and ad
delivery.”

“We are pleased to work with Loral Skynet,” added Jeff Casey, vice
president, sales and marketing, Ascent Media. “Our own well-founded depth of
knowledge about the Asian market complements the broad coverage offered now by
Telstar 10 and soon by Telstar 18. Working together with the Loral Skynet
team, our focus will be on customer service, responsiveness, and superior
technical support to the region’s occasional use market.”

In addition to the occasional-use services in Asia on Telstar 10, Loral
Skynet provides occasional-use service on Telstar 11 and Telstar 12 in Europe,
the Middle East and Africa.
