SES Intelsat Space News - Players

in #politics6 years ago (edited)

SES Government Solutions CEO Peter Hoene and Intelsat General President Kay Sears make the case that the "stars are in alignment" for improving the way the U.S. government meets its satellite communications needs.

It is what they do not tell us that makes them dangerous: https://abeldanger.blogspot.com/2010/04/intelsat-ku-band-privatizing-through.html#more

Forensic Analysis of Private Networks - Intelsat - Virtual Tunnels - Marconi to Gilligan's Island

"There's a problem: it's a 30 year old conspiracy." -- 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey

This is an informal inquiry based upon recent discussions of the Hawks Cafe, Captain Sherlock and Abel Danger (counterintelligence for the 'little people') association of forensic economic analysts related to satellites, private networks and the Ku-band frequency. Considering the quote above, for the first time in the history of human activity, this just might be the first thing a politician has said that can actually be accepted at face value.

In 1964, the International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium (Intelsat) resulted from the Communications Satellite Act (signed by U.S. President Kennedy in 1962) to provide global communications. To assist President Kennedy to bring about the organization of Intelsat, Newton N. Minow who served as Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from March 2, 1961 to June 1, 1963, convinced Congress to pass satellite communications legislation. The International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium (Intelsat) was put into law by the Communications Satellite Act signed by U.S. President Kennedy in 1962. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was first organized in 1934 as an independent agency of the United States Government.

Since Intelsat's inception under the Kennedy Administration and under Newton N. Minow's direction, it was organized as a treaty-based organization. Newton Minow visited America's space program and returned to Washington, informing Kennedy that: "Communications satellites will be much more important than sending man into space because they will send ideas into space. Ideas last longer than men." Even though the Communications Satellite Act was signed into law in 1962, Intelsat took effect in 1964 and from its inception controlled satellite communications up until July of 2001.

Giving this a few extra minutes of thought before we press on here, ideas really do have consequences: do those ideas possibly incorporate bringing down big buildings? Intelsat was set up as an intergovernmental consortium owning and managing a constellation of communications satellites that provided international broadcast services. Television programs like Gilligan's Island were probably broadcast to an international audience via the satellite Ku-band frequency.

On July 18, 2001, Intelsat the first global commercial communications satellite provider - was privatized, making a "historical transformation" from a treaty-based organization to a privately-held company. The newly-formed private company was called Intelsat Ltd.; today it has over 200 shareholders comprised of companies from more than 145 countries, representing most of the world's preeminent communications network operators.

As of 2007, Intelsat, Ltd. owned and operated a fleet of 51 communications satellites. Recently, in June 2007 BC Partners announced they had acquired 76 percent of Intelsat for about 3.75 billion euros. BC Partners is a private equity firm specializing in buyouts and acquisitions financing in Europe and the United States, with offices in New York, London, Paris and Hamburg, and total assets of $17 billion. BC Partners competes for buyouts and investment opportunities with other large cap private equity firms including Blackstone Group, CVC Capital Partners, Advent International and The Carlyle Group. As forensic economists, keep in mind exactly who these 'private interests' might be - and why these private equity groups constantly shuffle these holdings around in complex structures - as we explore the winding paths and dark pools of Gilligan's Island.
