The C-Band Alliance ("CBA"), which includes the leading global operators in the Intelsat (NYSE: I), SES (Euronext Paris: SESG) satellite sector, and Telesat, responded today to an announcement by the President of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") which intends to hold a public auction to free the spectrum of satellites currently licensed to C-Band Alliance members.

In a statement, the CBA explained, "The FCC President's indication of his intention to hold a public auction of the C-band spectrum is a significant departure from the market-based CBA proposal.
