[Satellite Today 05-26-09] TerreStar Europe filed a lawsuit in a Luxembourg high court against the European Commission (EC) seeking the annulment of the EC’s decision to select Inmarsat and Solaris Mobile as exclusive license holders to operate S-band pan-European mobile satellite services, TerreStar announced May 25.
In a statement, TerreStar said the EC’s review process was “prompt and narrowly focused” and the EC excluded TerreStar Europe on a technicality at a preliminary stage of the selection procedure.
TerreStar also claims that the EC misread its submission and failed to investigate what the commission claimed were inconsistencies in TerreStar’s submission.
TerreStar joins rival MSS provider, ICO Communications in protesting the May 13 decision by the EC.
