Intelsat Envision seeks to retain Crenshaw, on behalf of and at the sole direction of the Special Committee, because of its recognized expertise and extensive experience and knowledge in the field of bankruptcy, creditors’ rights, and business reorganizations under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. 9. Crenshaw has been actively involved in major chapter 11 cases, including, among others, In re Toys “R” Us, Inc., No. 17-34665 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Nov. 21, 2017) and In re Hancock Fabrics, Inc., No. 07-10353 (BLS) (Bankr. D. Del. Apr. 13, 2007). 10. Crenshaw’s knowledge and expertise in complex chapter 11 cases, as well as its extensive practice and knowledge of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, makes it substantively ideal to efficiently serve the needs of the Special Committee. Services to be Provided 11. Pursuant to the resolution of the board of managers of Intelsat Envision (the “Board of Managers”) dated March 27, 2020 (the “Resolutions”), two disinterested managers (the “Disinterested Managers”) were appointed to the Board of Managers and the Special Committee was established.

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Worlddmb Global Update Digital Radio Broadcasting Using the DAB Family of Standards Global Overview Digital
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: WorldDMB Global Update Digital radio broadcasting using the DAB family of standards Global overview Digital radio is making significant advances across Europe with national services now firmly established in the UK, Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany and Netherlands – all with coverage levels of over 90%. Recent months have seen several important developments for DAB digital radio: Norway will switch off FM in 2017 Switzerland has announced its plans for DSO (Digital Switchover) between 2020 and 2024 In Germany, following public broadcaster ARD’s long term commitment to DAB+ in November 2014, the Ministry for Transport and Digital Infrastructure has made clear its strong support and has established a new cross-industry Steering Board to drive forward the adoption of digital radio The UK has launched a major programme to build out national and local DAB coverage, and the licence for a second national commercial multiplex has been awarded, with up to 15 new stations on air in early 2016. Denmark has issued a clear roadmap for digital radio, with a transition to DAB+ by end 2016 and a decision on DSO when 50% of listening is digital The Netherlands has seen the launch (Sept 2013) and strong marketing of national DAB+ services. The next phase of development takes place in 2015 with the launch of regional services. In Italy, in March the regulator AgCom issued licences in three new regions; the coverage of national services is being extended in the South of Italy and Sicily and a plan of frequencies for local digital radio in 40 new regions has been published and AgCom will most likely publish the rules to extend DAB+ services in the new local areas by this summer.

  • Chapter 4 South Africa: the Internet Wars
    Negotiating the Net 4/1/2005 - 1 – ________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 4 SOUTH AFRICA: THE INTERNET WARS Introduction It was an eleven page fax, unsigned, with a Telkom cover sheet, addressed to ISPA, the Internet Service Providers Association. And it confirmed their suspicions. Things were coming to a head. Only a few days previously, on 11 June 1996, Telkom, South Africa’s giant, state-owned telecommunications monopoly on whose networks the internet and e-mail traffic of the entire client base of the ISPs depended, had finally entered the fray. The months of informal pilot testing, which the various private sector ISPs had anxiously been monitoring, had ended. A major new ISP for them to contend with had officially been launched. SAIX, the South African Internet eXchange, was now out there, in their market. Since Telkom's pre-commercial testing had begun on 1 October of the previous year, they and the other ISPs had talked of little else. An ISP operated by the incumbent could mean no-holds-barred competition for clients (particularly the profitable corporates, whose leased lines were rented from Telkom, making the telephone monopoly privy to their entire client database), including cross-subsidies and predatory pricing. Already many of them knew of informal approaches to their own clients - and the carrot of cheaper prices. Five ISP representatives had met to discuss the growing threat - Dave Frankel of Internet Solution, Jon Oliver of GIA, Mark Todes of Internet Africa, Steve Corkin of Sprint, and Internet activist Ant Brooks. With the support of other ISPs, they had planned the formation of an Internet Service Providers Association.

St.Andrews Frank Rowsell LCC UK Steve Methley Plextek Distribution: Ahmad Atefi Ofcom Registered Address Company Registration London Road No. 2305889 Great Chesterford VAT Registration Essex, CB10 1NY, UK No. GB 532 2188 67 COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE Executive Summary The investigation considers whether there is a way forward to offering economic, ubiquitous broadband wireless access, given that previous solutions have had marginal business cases. The report time scale covers the next 10-20 years. The focus is fixed access, i.e. the local loop; mobile access is specifically excluded from the scope. The first specific question to answer is: What is the future last mile wireless broadband requirement? This really is a key question over the long time scale under consideration. We believe that the last mile requirement will increasingly be one in which there is a convergence of the services and platforms providing communications and entertainment to the home. We note that High Definition (HD) displays and services are set to play an increasing role in this future. Whilst we cannot predict the exact, future HD services, we can take HDTV as a proxy - future requirements can then be estimated over the next 10-20 years. It was found that whilst video codecs have typically improved two-fold each five years, this fails to take into account two things: Firstly, users’ quality demands will increase, secondly the amount of coding gain for a given codec depends on the quality and resolution of the source; at the highest quality and resolution, less coding gain is available.

  • Sentech Migrates to Multiservice with Newtec
    PRESS RELEASE SENTECH MIGRATES TO MULTISERVICE WITH NEWTEC Newtec Dialog® at the core of SENTECH’s new 800 sites multiservice platform in South Africa GAUTENG, JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, and SINT-NIKLAAS, Belgium, 15 November 2016. Newtec, a specialist in designing, developing and manufacturing equipment and technologies for satellite communications, today announced that state-owned broadcasting signal distributor SENTECH has selected the Newtec Dialog® multiservice platform including the MDM2500 IP Satellite Modem for 800 of its sites across South Africa. The partnership was enabled through African Union Communications (AUCom) – a long-term, certified Newtec business partner, which is the primary contractor for this SENTECH project. The Newtec Dialog multiservice platform will provide SENTECH with capabilities for Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) signal monitoring, IP multicasting, radio backhaul, Point of Sale (PoS) support and government disaster recovery connectivity. The migration from the current platform to Newtec Dialog will begin in November and will use standard Ku-band capacity. “As the broadcast industry evolves, it is important for us to be able to meet not only our present needs, but our future ones as well,” said Dumisa Ngwenya, CTO at SENTECH. “One of the main factors was Newtec Dialog’s capacity for scalable growth, allowing us to target an increasing number of services within the same platform as our future requirements change and grow.” As a multiservice platform, Newtec Dialog enables tailored services and guarantees optimal modulation, bandwidth allocation, service availability, reliable automation of link set-ups and flexible workflow support, whether it is being used to provide broadcast, consumer broadband, cellular backhaul or mobility services.
