The total 'time-to- destiny'will be less than seven months, which is especially short for the long trip from E,arth to Mars because ESA's engineers are participating in a game of 'planetary billiards'. Launch opportunities to go to Mars from the Earth occur every 26 months, when the Sun, Earth and Mars form a straight line. However, because the orbits of both planets are elliptical, not all such 'oppositions' are equal. During this year's opposition, Mars and the Earth will be especially close, the closest they have been in nearly 60 000 years. The benefits for space agencies to go this year are clear swinging from one planet to the other takes less time and fuel. It is as if this particular space trip is currently 'on sale'. This is one of the prime reasons why so many missions are visiting the Red Planet in 2003: two NASA Rovers and the Japanese Nozomi will arrive shortly after Mars Express. These new adventurers will join two other NASA orbiters, Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey, which have been on the scene since 1997 and 2001, respectively. eso bullelin I l5 - ougust 2003 ll Mars Express is now speeding silently through interplanetary space. With its cubic structure, wrapped in its black thermal insulation and about a man's height in length, it could be seen as a giant 'space insect' with its two silver solar panels extending like wings. The landeq called Beagle 2, travels attached to one side, folded up rather like a very large pocket watch. Moving away from the Earlh at an average speed of 3 kilometres per second, the spacecraft will conserve energy, doing almost nothing until about a week before its arrival at Mars. Right now there's little activity on board. But silence and low activity are not the norm for this Mars mission. Only a few lllustrotion hy Mediolob, @tSA 2001 weeks ago, the ground controllers were still checking out the spacecraft configuration, as well as the post-launch of the special clamps holding Beagle 2 in the launch," explains Con McCarthy, survival of the seven instruments on board. place during the launch.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Case Western Reserve Law Review by an authorized administrator of Case Western Reserve University School of Law Scholarly Commons. CABLE OPEN ACCESS AND DIRECT ACCESS TO INTELSAT Kenneth Katkint ABSTRACT The FCC is currently resolving whether cable television com- panies that provide high-speed Internet access to residential consumers should be required to furnish cable transmission capacity to unaffiliated Internet Service Providers. To resolve this controversy, the FCC has expressed a desire "to develop an analytical approach that is, to the extent possible, consistent across multiple platforms." The FCC's comment reflects the specific fact that local telephone companies which provide high-speed Internet access to residential users through Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) currently are required to furnish transmission capacity to unaffiliated Internet Service Providers. However, the same comment can also be read more broadly, as suggesting that in a world of increasing technological convergence and increasing intermodal competition, a more universally consistent analytical paradigm is needed to resolve the many analogous disputes over competitive access to proprietary bottleneck facilities that are now arising in a broad range of communications contexts.

Eskenazi Vice President & Associate General Counsel SES AMERICOM, Inc. 4 Research Way Princeton, NJ 08540 June 3, 2004 Doc #:DC1:142273.1 SUMMARY The Commission's Wireless Broadband Access Task Force has requested information on wireless broadband technologies that can provide alternatives to wireline services, such as cable and DSL. In these comments, SES AMERICOM describes the important role ofsatellite technology in the delivery ofbroadband services, particularly to rural areas, and outlines the steps it is taking to make such deployment a reality. Satellite services will be critical in the effort to meet not only the Commission's objectives ofensuring affordable broadband access for all Americans, but also President Bush's goal ofuniversal access to broadband technology by the year 2007. As recently explained by Chairman Powell, satellite is the one technology that is "capable ofreaching each and every single American, in every spot ofthe country, no matter how rural or remotely located they might be."] SES AMERICOM believes in satellite broadband, and has made a strong commitment to develop satellite technology, and to deploy systems, specifically designed for direct-to-home broadband applications. In these comments, SES AMERICOM describes its proposed AMERICOM2Home ("A2H") platform ofsatellite capacity, to be used by partners to offer a broad range ofinnovative services directly to consumers in the United States.
