<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Operator</B>: Welcome to Viasat&#146;s Fiscal Year 2022 Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call. Your host for today&#146;s call is Rick Baldridge, President and CEO.
You may proceed, Mr.&nbsp;Baldrige. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Richard A. Baldridge, President, Chief Executive Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Director, Viasat, Inc.</B>: Okay. Thanks.
Thanks for joining us today, everybody. We released our shareholder letter earlier today before the market opened, and we hope you&#146;ve had a chance to take a look to that. Joining me today on the call is Mark Dankberg, our Executive Chairman;
Shawn Duffy, our CFO; Robert Blair, our General Counsel; Paul Froelich from Corporate Development; and Peter Lopez from Investor Relations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Today&#146;s call will
consist of some &#150; just a couple of brief opening remarks, and then we&#146;ll go into Q&amp;A. First, let&#146;s have Robert to provide us our Safe Harbor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Robert J. Blair, Secretary, Vice President</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; General Counsel, Viasat, Inc.</B>: Thanks, Rick. As you know, this discussion will contain
forward-looking statements. This is a reminder that factors could cause actual results to differ materially. Additional information concerning these factors is contained in our SEC filings including our most recent reports on Forms <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q.</FONT> Copies are available from the SEC or from our website. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">With that said,
back to you, Rick. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Richard A. Baldridge, President, Chief Executive Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Director, Viasat, Inc.</B>: Okay. Thanks, Robert. First, if
you did have a chance to read the letter, you can see our business continues to perform well on almost every front. So today, we&#146;ll go into some of the details, talk about <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Viasat-3</FONT> schedule a bit, and
give you an update on the Inmarsat transaction. We&#146;ve tried to answer a lot of the questions that we&#146;ve been getting in the letter, but also hope to answer in our remaining questions here in a few minutes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">With that, I&#146;ll start with a few of the important highlights for the quarter. Revenue grew by $144&nbsp;million year over year to a record $720&nbsp;million, while
adjusted EBITDA also reached a new record of $163&nbsp;million, which continues the momentum of the last several quarters. We grew year-over-year in each of our segments as well. In Satellite Services, year-over-year revenue growth of 40% was driven
mainly by the performance in our IFC business. Both aircraft returned to service and new customers such as Delta coming on line, as well as contributions from the RigNet and EBI acquisitions. Fixed broadband was reasonably flat as we continue to
reallocate finite bandwidth resources to our growing mobility business. Overall, 37% of our satellite services revenue came from mobility in the quarter, international and other revenue underscoring the increasing diversity of our businesses. Those
businesses have the greatest growth opportunity, and we anticipate we&#146;ll continue to diversify our satellite services portfolio as we go forward. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Government
systems had good revenue performance with service revenues up 5% year-over-year and total revenue up 2% year-over-year. While we saw strong performance from tactical satcom radio and tactical data link products, there have been longer than
anticipated delays in processing certifications required prior to delivery of some of our security assurance product orders. In addition to the $956&nbsp;million in backlog, we have IDIQ contracts with almost $4&nbsp;billion of <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">un-awarded</FONT> potential value, none of which is included in our backlog number. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Commercial Networks continue to deliver good
results, with revenues up 55% year-over-year. The increase was mostly driven by increased IFC terminal shipments and another strong contribution from our ground antenna systems division and RigNet product revenue. We expect that our IFC orders and
antenna systems backlog will support continued good results in this segment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Turning to our announced acquisition Inmarsat. We spent our time since the
announcement preparing the required filings and are progressing well on multiple fronts. We completed the required loan amendment of ViaSat&#146;s $700&nbsp;million revolver and Inmarsat&#146;s $700&nbsp;million credit facility and $1.7&nbsp;billion
term loan. We&#146;re progressing well on the regulatory front both in the US, UK and have made initial regulatory filings with the US Department of Justice, and the SEC and plan to make many additional filings in the next few weeks. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Inmarsat itself in delivering strong financial and operational results consistent with what we thought. You can see
further details on page 8 of the shareholder letter. I also remind you to keep an eye out for our transaction proxy which is expected to be filed very soon. We&#146;re very excited about the transaction and so are our customers. A number of airlines
have been reaching out to learn more about the transaction including how it will help us better serve our existing and future customers. We think our dedication to global growth has been a big consideration in recent business activity and new orders
for long range aircraft. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">On our last call, we said we expect to close in 9 to 18 months from signing. We continue to believe that&#146;s a good estimate and
hopefully by the end of this calendar year. Regarding the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> constellation, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> America&#146;s launch is now expected to be late summer due to some modest
slippage in our supply chain. We&#146;ve been working through limited availability of specific critical skilled workers. We&#146;ve made really good progress on alpha testing of our space ground system integration using one of our on orbit
satellites and we&#146;re working to take advantage of that to manage on orbit testing so we can maintain the commencement of initial services by the end of the calendar year. We don&#146;t expect &#150; which is consistent with what we&#146;ve said
before &#150; we don&#146;t expect this to materially impact our financial outlook we&#146;ve previously provided. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT>
EMEA payload module progressed very well in our Tempe facility. By taking advantage of the learnings from Flight 1 Americas, we&#146;re now 95% complete of the payload units have been already installed. We&#146;re in the final stages prior to
shipping that to Boeing for integration with the bus. They expect learnings on the payload bus integration will benefit Flight 2 schedule at Boeing. And we continue to target that launch about six months after Flight 1. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Turning to the outlook briefly, our company-wide outlook remains strong. We continue to believe we&#146;ll achieve our standalone financial targets, including our
average annual adjusted EBITDA growth in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-teens</FONT> for FY 2022 and 2023 relative to FY 2021. As we previously stated, we also believe we&#146;re on track to more than double adjusted EBITDA by FY 2025
relative to FY 2020 on a standalone basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Well, of course, we&#146;re very excited about the Inmarsat acquisition and
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3,</FONT> our strong operational and financial performance demonstrates that our teams are working diligently to drive good execution. I think the same can be said for Inmarsat based on their strong
performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">So that, we&#146;ll turn it over for questions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Operator</B>:
Our first question comes from the line of Ric Prentiss of Raymond James. Your line is open. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Ric Prentiss, Analyst, Raymond James</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp;
Associates, Inc.: </B>Thanks. Hey, everybody. Happy New Year, I guess, officially. A couple questions for you, guys. First, obviously, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> is slipping a little bit. 3B, you said about six months still
after the first 3A. How should we think about magnitude of costs that you need to put in for ground and other operating expenses before the revenues start generating and what kind of pacing there might be as far as cost before revenues on the
satellite launches? </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Shawn Duffy, Chief Financial Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Senior Vice President, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Hey, Ric. This is Shawn. So, you
know, we&#146;re starting to incur some of those as we speak, but there &#150; you know, we&#146;ve been trying to pace those somewhat with the launch. You can think of those this quarter as maybe $5&nbsp;million. As we get closer and closer to
launch, like I said, those will start to ramp up. So maybe, an annual rate around $35&nbsp;million right before we go into service is a good estimate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Ric
Prentiss, Analyst, Raymond James</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc.: </B>$35&nbsp;million on annual basis? </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Shawn Duffy, Chief Financial
Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Senior Vice President, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yeah. So it kind of ramps up to that. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Ric Prentiss, Analyst, Raymond
James</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc.: </B>Makes sense. And obviously, it&#146;s about a year from now that you get into service, hopefully, a little sooner. How are you guys feeling about maintaining flat revenue on the US consumer
broadband side given the demand from in flight connectivity? Should we expect some declines in the revenues on consumer broadband as we look into the future? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Ric, it&#146;s Mark. So far, what we&#146;re seeing is kind of the ARPU growth has maintained pretty much the
same pace and actually, in some cases, a little bit better than the sub decline. And I think that&#146;s also kind of consistent with what&#146;s going on in the industry, so we think that more or less, kind of a trend that we&#146;d expect between
now and entering service in the US. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Ric Prentiss, Analyst, Raymond James</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc.: </B>Okay. We saw some announcements
that looks like, on the competitive front, SpaceX&#146;s Starlink is starting to pivot to some more business enterprise with $500 plans, $2,500 CPE costs. How are you thinking about the competitive dynamics out there as far as your ability to grow
when <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Viasat-3A</FONT> is in the air? </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Well, it&#146;s a &#150; few things.
One, it&#146;s a very big market. We have seen so far sort of, I&#146;d say, de minimis and immaterial impact in the overall market due to SpaceX. And certainly you can see that they&#146;re out there. But one of the points that we&#146;ve made and
I think that this is turning out to be true is that the better the services, the more value you can offer as a function of price, the bigger the market is. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">And so,
what&#146;s happening is you&#146;re seeing the market- we&#146;re seeing the market grow, and I think we&#146;re still getting a share of that market. That&#146;s sufficient for our growth targets. The other point I would say is if you look at what
we&#146;re doing on the enterprise side, we tend to be a lot more vertically integrated into each specific market where there&#146;s quite a bit of value add, besides just providing a broadband pipe. And we think that&#146;s really a good fit for
us. So the types of plans that they&#146;re describing, they&#146;re sort of interesting, but we don&#146;t really see them having any impact on our forward-looking outlook. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Ric Prentiss, Analyst, Raymond James</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc.: </B>Great. Thanks, everyone. Stay well. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Operator</B>: Thank you. Our next question comes from Landon Park of Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst, Morgan Stanley: </B>Thank you. Hello, everyone. A couple of questions. So could you talk about your conversations that you&#146;ve had with the
UK government over the last couple of weeks and maybe some of your takeaways from those, and what type of concessions or agreements you guys are thinking about as part of the deal? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Richard A. Baldridge, President, Chief Executive Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Director, Viasat, Inc.</B>: Yeah. So when we announced the deal, we were actually
ready to go a little earlier, and they asked us to delay it. They had worked out what they call undertakings with the previous private equity group that had taken this thing private. And I&#146;d say the discussions we&#146;ve had are fairly
consistent with those types of things, just not &#150; quite frankly, the plans that we have in the UK, in my view, are quite a bit more favorable to the UK on what&#146;s going on, and we&#146;re more vertically integrated. We&#146;ll bring more
R&amp;D. I think the types of people we hire will be more technical people. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">So I think we just have a really positive story. And you&#146;ve read the things on the
newspaper, what they&#146;re worried about, and I just &#150; I don&#146;t think we have that situation. Not every deal is the same. And so those have been the discussions, just talking about what our plans are, and I think the discussions have gone
really well. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">There were some articles that came out that by the same three people that previously written about it in a very negative way. And then the new
articles are much more balanced. So, I think that we&#146;ve got a good story. We&#146;ve been in the UK for 10 years, over 10 years. We have data at rest security products over there that we provide today but actually provides most of the data at
rest security across their MOD. We&#146;ve previously announced a satellite operations center investment in the UK prior to this deal even getting signed. And so we have a very good story and they seem to be pretty receptive. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst, Morgan Stanley: </B>And is the deal going to be subject to the new national security oversight law that recently went into place? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Richard A. Baldridge, President, Chief Executive Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Director, Viasat, Inc.</B>: It is, yes. So we expect a full review across the board
on all &#150; that&#146;s what we expected going in. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst, Morgan Stanley: </B>Right. So moving on to the broadband business, there&#146;s been
some news that Facebook is going to be sort of winding down some of their or I think most of their international <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Wi-Fi</FONT> Express business. They partnered with you in Mexico. Could you maybe just talk about any
impacts that might have on you and maybe just a broader update on that international <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Wi-Fi</FONT> program you guys have been wondering and what type of returns you&#146;ve been able to see out of that business? </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>I&#146;m sorry, I missed the very first sentence to that. Who
the company that you mentioned? </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst, Morgan Stanley: </B>Facebook. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Okay, yeah so on the international front in terms of fixed services, we have two sets of initiatives. One is
direct residential broadband that we&#146;re doing in several countries. For instance, we acquired in Europe the other part of the joint venture we have with Eutelsat. And the other part which is the part that, I think you&#146;re referring to, are
the we call community internet or shared internet services. And we&#146;re doing that in a few different ways. The main &#150; the main common element is to bring bandwidth in by satellite to some central point and then distribute that bandwidth to
end users. And we&#146;re doing that actually in multiple different ways. We&#146;re doing on land. We&#146;re doing it by wireless. We&#146;re doing it by &#150; you know, by unlicensed <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Wi-Fi.</FONT> And each of
those &#150; we think that each of those will have places under different circumstances. Right now, all three modes of delivery are &#150; I think are growing and are attractive to us under different circumstances. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Richard A. Baldridge, President, Chief Executive Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Director, Viasat, Inc.</B>: <B></B>On the Facebook thing specifically, we&#146;re
working with those guys right now on transitioning that. So we don&#146;t see any impact. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yeah. The other
part of it is our &#150; you know, what we&#146;re doing with Facebook was more about trying to understand where to deliver service and how effective that service was. And I think that the activity is benefiting both companies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst, Morgan Stanley: </B>Great. And the last one for me, just on the commercial networks side, can you talk about some of the managed services that
you guys expect to ramp up in that business over the next couple of years? And maybe what that margin profile looks like for some of that and the prospects to get that segment closer to breakeven? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Okay. So far, on the communications networks side. So, one is from a managed services perspective, the main
thing that we&#146;ve been doing there is in what we call Real-Time Earth is that that what you&#146;re &#150; so that is a shared network service business primarily for Earth observation downlinks, data downlinks. Is that what you&#146;re referring
to? </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst, Morgan Stanley: </B>Yes, that is what I&#146;m referring to. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yeah. So it&#146;s still a relatively small business, but it&#146;s growing pretty steadily. Right now what
we&#146;ve been doing is working primarily with third party partners. We did one with indigenous people in Australia. We just recently did one in Ghana. And we have more opportunities for that. And then the other kind of really &#150; there are two
other really interesting elements to that. One of the main businesses in our communication networks is this accounted for a lot of growth for us is building kind of the largest, most capable full motion ground antenna systems. And the reason
that&#146;s valuable is very large antenna took a lot more efficient and getting high speed data down to high speed for the highest resolution sensor data. And then the other one is that that makes them most effective for these new generation of
very, very small satellites. So you don&#146;t need a lot of power [indiscernible] 00:19:16 from the spacecraft. You can focus most of your value on the sensing part. So those two things are really valuable. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">And then the other thing that we&#146;re working to integrate with that is I think it was LEO GEO relay, which is a very unique mission that the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> constellation can do because of the global coverage in the high capacity. So, right now, look, they&#146;re small businesses. They&#146;re good-margin businesses, and we take that as the variable costs low.
So, as they scale, those margins will improve. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">On the overall issue of EBITDA, turning that business EBITDA positive, the main &#150; kind of the main thing that
has been a drag on EBITDA is we think is actually a benefit, which is we&#146;re doing our own payload designs for the Viasat satellite series, and we&#146;re also now extending some of those payload capabilities into third-party satellites. Like
one area that&#146;s been good for us has been cross-links for satellites, and we have a number of government contracts for that. We have commercial contracts for cross-linking. We think that&#146;s a really attractive business. </P>

<HR SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">


<Center><DIV STYLE="width:8.5in" align="left">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">So the fact that we do that for both ourselves and others as opposed to just buying satellites like most other
satellite operators do means that we expense the R&amp;D as opposed to capitalizing the R&amp;D that goes into these next-generation satellite designs. And that&#146;s &#150; that is the single ticket. I mean, it&#146;s really the only factor in the
negative EBITDA in that business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Shawn Duffy, Chief Financial Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Senior Vice President, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yeah, Landon. It&#146;s
Shawn. Just to add to it, right, we &#150; most of our R&amp;D, we centralize in that segment, right? That&#146;s across the segment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst,
Morgan Stanley: </B>Right, right. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Shawn Duffy, Chief Financial Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Senior Vice President, Viasat, Inc.: </B>&#133;so most of it
flows there. So, outside of that, it&#146;s a nicely profitable segment for us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst, Morgan Stanley: </B>No, I understand. I was just trying to
understand if, on a reported basis, that there was a path over the next three years or so to get it closer to breakeven. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Shawn Duffy, Chief Financial
Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Senior Vice President, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yeah. I mean, I think we&#146;re &#150; I think we&#146;ll see improvements in that. We&#146;re going to continue to have good momentum in IFC delivery of terminals there, but
we&#146;re going to continue to invest as well for next gen and things that we think are very valuable, both in commercial applications as well as government. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst, Morgan Stanley: </B>In R&amp;D, is 5% of revenues is still good estimate? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Shawn Duffy, Chief Financial Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Senior Vice President, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yeah, this quarter we are about 5.2%. So 5%, 5.5%, somewhere
between there is a good estimate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Landon Park, Analyst, Morgan Stanley: </B>Great. Thanks. Thanks, everyone, for all the color. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.:</B> Thanks, Landon. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Operator</B>: Thank you. Our next question comes from Mathieu Robilliard of Barclays. Your line is open. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mathieu Robiliard, Anaylst, Barclays Capital Securities Ltd.: </B>Good afternoon and thank you very much. I have three questions, please. The first one relates to
the Inmarsat acquisition. You were mentioning in your scripted remarks that you&#146;ve engaged with clients and clients are asking about what this could mean and what kind of services maybe you can provide. Could you give us a little bit more color
in terms of what is their interest focused on in the combined Inmarsat-Viasat proposition? </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Sure. Yeah. So
the main things that we&#146;ve been focused on and these are &#150; I&#146;d say, these are common among a lot of these mobility businesses. Number one is this issue about bandwidth density, which is how you &#150; how do you avoid congestion in
your network so that your mobility customers get &#150; have a reliable service even when they go into busy airports or hubs. One of the things we showed &#150; which we thought was one of the most important slides in our presentation about the
Inmarsat acquisition was just the density of demand for commercial air and commercial air is relatively easy to show because it&#146;s scheduled in airlines. But similar situations occur in things like general aviation, maritime and other, and even
in land mobile applications. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">So that &#150; you know, one of the things that&#146;s really been an important factor for Viasat&#146;s growth has been our ability
to deal with that, especially in the US, which is the largest domestic market for air travel. And, you know &#150; and if the large airlines that we serve in the large airport cities, I think we&#146;ve been able to demonstrate our ability to keep
ahead of that issue. So that&#146;s one. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Another one that I think people are really interested in and especially in maritime and in some of the intercontinental
aviation is hybrid services between <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">K-band</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">L-band</FONT> and being able to provide that continuity of service even under the worst weather conditions, which is where when
you think of airline safety or maritime safety, where a lot of the most distressed situations are associated with bad weather. </P>

<HR SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">


<Center><DIV STYLE="width:8.5in" align="left">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">So that&#146;s, you know, being able to bundle those things into attractive systems is a really good thing. And then
the other, you know, which has been kind of the main thing that airlines have been looking to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-4</FONT> that we believe Inmarsat really accelerates is redundant global coverage. And so, we&#146;ll get there
faster and we&#146;ll have multiple satellites, but that&#146;s sort of those long-haul international routes. I&#146;d say those are kind of the main &#150; some of the main topics that customers have come to us to discuss first. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mathieu Robiliard, Anaylst, Barclays Capital Securities Ltd.: </B>And is that &#150; if I can follow up, is that also a discussion you are having with governments
that may require more capacity? </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Well, yes. If you look at &#150; I mean, one of the things that&#146;s also
been a valuable business for us, as well as for Inmarsat, is in dealing with government applications. And the big thing with government applications is that they don&#146;t really know where their hot spots will be. They can anticipate, but they can
pop up anywhere in the world, and when they do, they also have this issue about very large amounts of demand concentrated in relatively small geographic areas. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">So
being able to deal with those issues and being able to deal with some of the unique things that we bring, for instance, with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> or the potential to deliver uplink speeds from platforms that are
exceptionally good, much better than even a lot of these new NGSO systems. So those are &#150; they&#146;re just the attractions of the combined resources and capabilities of the companies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mathieu Robiliard, Anaylst, Barclays Capital Securities Ltd.: </B>Thank you. If I continue on the government and specifically service revenues, which kind of links a
bit to what we just discussed, I realize service revenues and bandwidth demand for you today in government services is a small part of your revenues. But I was wondering if you&#146;re seeing any increase in demand recently &#150; obviously,
we&#146;re in a slightly more tense geopolitical situation &#150; and whether in the past you&#146;ve seen big increases in demand linked to any deterioration on that front. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yeah. So, I mean, I think all satellite operators tend to see increased demand for government bandwidth when
there are, you know, when there are conflicts in the world. So, you know, we&#146;re not &#150; look, if you have bandwidth in the places where it&#146;s needed then you&#146;re in a position to be able to help support that. I think more recently,
yeah, there is threat of conflict which doesn&#146;t come out &#150; turn out to be that way. So right now, we&#146;re just really seeing more I&#146;d say inquiries about, you know, more around planning and contingency planning. Well, you know,
what can be done. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">And I think we&#146;re, you know, as we&#146;ve grown, I think we&#146;re in a position to be able to deliver more support. In general, though,
you know, some places demand has gone down and it will probably appear in new places if it does. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Richard A. Baldridge, President, Chief Executive
Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Director, Viasat, Inc.</B>: <B></B>And overall, the services portion of our government revenue has been growing over the last few years. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yeah, I think we&#146;ve talked about something in the 20%, 25% range of total services being a total of
government systems revenue. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mathieu Robiliard, Anaylst, Barclays Capital Securities Ltd.: </B>Great. Thanks. And if I finish with one question on the US
broadband market. So you do mention in your press release that the number of subscribers has come down a bit and that&#146;s kind of voluntary to some extent as you want to use more capacity in IFC. But I had a broader question concerning the market
and the competition there because some of the telecom players are pushing a lot more it seems FWA solutions as a way to increase their revenues. And I was wondering if you saw that as potentially a new source of competition, a reduction of your
potential addressable market in the US. Thank you. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Okay. No, we don&#146;t &#150; it turns out fixed
wireless has not really been a material factor in changing the market for satellite broadband in the US. There are other factors&#133;so cable, edge-outs, fiber, new fiber builds, those are probably more of a factor. And then the other one that I
think kind of ebbs and flows depending on the economy demand and a couple of other factors is, that people just using their mobile service plan as their home broadband service, and that becomes a little more tenable for people when they have &#150;
when they&#146;re going to the office and they have broadband resources at work or somewhere other than at home. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">But those are the main factors. And that&#146;s how what we see probably shaping the market over the next few years.
We&#146;ve done a pretty detailed microanalysis of that on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">region-by-region</FONT></FONT> basis. And we think it will eat into the market, but it&#146;s not going to eliminate the
market. There&#146;s &#150; what we&#146;ve expected over the next five years. We talked about this a few times. It&#146;s kind of modest growth and our subscriber base in the US between now and 2025. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Chris Quilty, Founder</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Partner, Quilty Analytics LLC: </B>Thanks, guys. Had a question about the forgotten acquisition, maybe with RigNet. We
haven&#146;t talked about it in a lot of detail, but can you give us maybe a status update, now that you&#146;ve had a couple of quarters under your belt, of what you&#146;re seeing in that business in terms of both business operations, integration,
cost reductions? And I guess putting Inmarsat aside for a moment because there&#146;s a lot of changes that would come, but like what plans do you have now for that business in terms of growing it and migrating it with the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> services? </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Richard A. Baldridge, President, Chief Executive Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Director, Viasat,
Inc.</B>: Yeah. So the integration has gone very well between the two groups. There were some initial cost reductions that took place early on. We&#146;ve been working on the integration of the business areas and become &#150; our global operations
have all been integrated under one group. So that&#146;s gone well. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">We have started our initial first <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Ka-band</FONT> deployment on
some of the rigs where they were previously leasing capacity, but that&#146;s just the very beginning. It just started with some trials. That&#146;s obviously one of the big benefits here to both drive performance and help in the cost profile over
time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">That will improve as we begin to launch these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> satellites. That&#146;s where the real growth opportunity
there is. And the Intelie part of that business has been a very positive surprise, really strong team, has a good platform. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">They continue to win new business, and
we&#146;re &#150; there&#146;s other applications across Viasat where that group can help. So we&#146;re &#150; I&#146;d say things are about as expected so far. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Chris Quilty, Founder</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Partner, Quilty Analytics LLC: </B>Got you. And a question on that <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Ka-band</FONT>
band rollout on the rigs, there was probably some reason in the past why RigNet was hesitant to use Inmarsat as the backup. But have you determined what the backup path will be there for those systems? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Richard A. Baldridge, President, Chief Executive Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Director, Viasat, Inc.</B>: One of the things we&#146;re not doing is disclosing
our execution strategy to the competition. So I think one of the things we&#146;re doing in these trials is demonstrating what&#146;s capable. And so, you know, our view is if you give a whole bunch of people much more bandwidth and charge them a
lot less is you create things that they would have done have they been able to do and work. And so we&#146;re able to do that in areas where we have a footprint right now, which is limited as those satellites roll out. And then with Inmarsat, we
won&#146;t be limited to that. And so, we&#146;d be able to do that across the board. So the real opportunity here is growing the type of services we deliver to all these platforms. </P>

were referring to RF and not optical cross links. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yes. Correct. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Well, the largest commercial one that we&#146;ve had is
Iridium. So we did all of the onboard &#150; Iridium&#146;s a cross-linked system. So we did all of the onboard cross-links for Iridium. We have mostly, otherwise, so far, have been mostly government programs, including I don&#146;t really want to
name one, but some name brand new multi-satellite government programs will be &#150; we&#146;ve been funded and I think we&#146;ll be in the production version of those satellites as well. And you know, the cross-links that we&#146;ve been doing are
generally <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">K-banned</FONT> or much higher frequencies that have a lot more capacity. I think one of the &#150; one of the most interesting ones one of the most interesting ones where we are getting traction as well in
both government and commercial programs is in the LEO to GEO crosslinks and that &#150; which is a pretty unique capability with a big &#150; the big advantage there, if you have a very high capacity global system like
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3,</FONT> you can just insert the LEO crosslinks into the global coverage capability of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3.</FONT> So that&#146;s a really, really interesting opportunity and
we&#146;re getting good traction on that on both government and commercial sides. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Chris Quilty, Founder</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Partner, Quilty Analytics LLC:
</B>Got you. And the sort of high profile government name is that perhaps a new effort with a generic sounding dumb name and very high volume or the primary focus is on optical? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>No, no. I don&#146;t want to stoke speculation. There&#146;s certainly a place for optical crosslinks. The big
advantage of RF crosslinks, and RF is kind of interesting in the gigabit up to a gigabit range and you may see optical crosslinks in more the gigabit range. But if a gigabit is a worthwhile bandwidth, the big advantage of optical is much cheaper,
much less power. It doesn&#146;t require the platform stability. You can network it so you can hop the links around. A lot easier to make and break connections. Go packet networks. So there&#146;s &#150; I know there&#146;s a lot of focus on laser
crosslinks. But the optical one is it&#146;s a really interesting market and one that I think we are. I mean, RF &#150; again, RF is really interesting. And it&#146;s one where I think we have a really good competitive position. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Chris Quilty, Founder</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Partner, Quilty Analytics LLC: </B>Got you. And because I didn&#146;t ask Shawn any questions, I&#146;m going to
follow up with one financial question, which is, when you were talking &#150; mentioning with Rick earlier the ground equipment costs, are those capitalized costs now or those costs cost that you are spending? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Shawn Duffy, Chief Financial Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Senior Vice President, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Okay. So Chris, what I was trying to capture for you guys is
how the OpEx will ramp ahead of the service launch [indiscernible] 00:37:53 CapEx. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Chris Quilty, Founder</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Partner, Quilty Analytics LLC:
</B>Okay. And you&#146;re not &#150; again it&#146;s not able to capitalize any of the ground equipment, R&amp;D and build out until the satellite is operational? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Shawn Duffy, Chief Financial Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Senior Vice President, Viasat, Inc.: </B>No, it&#146;s part of the full project profile that we&#146;ve
given you guys, which includes a satellite, the launch insurance, all the initial ground that stuff is capitalized. It&#146;s just not operating when you light it up essentially that gets expensive. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Richard A. Baldridge, President, Chief Executive Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Director, Viasat, Inc.</B>: Think of power and fiber optics and rent and all of
those types of expenses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Chris Quilty, Founder</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Partner, Quilty Analytics LLC: </B>Great. And I know you haven&#146;t given out a
specific number, when do you use the term gateway? No? What&#146;s the name you use for your [indiscernible] 00:38:38 </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat,
Inc.: </B>Satellite access nodes &#150; they&#146;re feeder link gateways. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Chris Quilty, Founder</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Partner, Quilty Analytics LLC:
</B>Yes. Okay. What percent of those are installed now and do you light them up and keep them lit up until <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3&#146;s</FONT> launch or do you kind of light them up and turn them off just to test them? </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>So we probably have &#150; close to half of the initial set of SANs in the US. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Shawn Duffy, Chief Financial Officer</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Senior Vice President, Viasat, Inc.: C</B>oming over the next few months. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>Yeah, somewhere in that range is what will happen. One of the things Rick mentioned is that things are going
well on space ground testing. We&#146;re able to test a lot of the integration using the new ground network in one of our existing satellites. We test a lot of functionality. So what we are doing is we&#146;re lighting up some of them along the way
to increase the scope of that testing. But the bulk of them will be activated very close to the launch or post- launch. </P>

makes sense. And switching to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3,</FONT> I was wondering, what is your degree of confidence that you will have <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> services commencing or either consumer broadband
or aviation this year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.: </B>I would say pretty good, I mean, we have that &#151; we have a plan that does that.
But there&#146;s uncertainties along the way. I wish we could be, I wish we could be certain. But you can&#146;t be certain. I think we have a &#150; I think we have a plan. But, if you look at sort of the main thing that caused lot of schedule it
was, there was the lack of availability of specific people who would have been able to forecast that three months ago, things looked like COVID stuff was going away and life was going back to normal. So I wish I could say they&#146;re certain but we
have a plan. Generally we&#146;ve been pretty good at executing plans when the assumptions behind them hold true. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Louie DiPalma, Analyst, Williams
Blair</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC:</B> Okay, thanks. Thanks, Mark. And for the customer premise equipment and the terminals associated with the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> system, how will the economics be different for new
customers that want to use the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> system versus existing customers that are currently on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-1</FONT> or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-2</FONT> that looking
to upgrade? And the reason I&#146;m asking is a lot has been made about how SpaceX with Starlink takes a pretty hefty loss on their terminal. And I&#146;m wondering like how does that loss compare to the economics for geostationary type terminal?
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Mark Dankberg, Executive Chairman, Viasat, Inc.:</B> Okay. So one is the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> overall economics. I think we&#146;ll
be in line with what we&#146;ve experienced since I think will be in line with what we&#146;ve experienced since we did <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-1,</FONT> which think of it as customer app, customer lifetime value compared to
customer&#146;s acquisition costs. Lifetime tends to be 3x, somewhere in that range, right, about a particular lifetime value. And that&#146;s based on many, many years of good understanding of customer acquisition cost, churn statistics, ongoing
customer support. And I think we have some initiatives that actually reduce cost and can improve that. So we&#146;ll see similar things with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3.</FONT> It&#146;s kind of what we expect. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The &#150; so the &#150; and the thing I would say that maybe doesn&#146;t get as much attention as it probably should
from investors to think about is really there&#146;s the kind of the biggest issue in running these businesses to deliver an attractive service and to do it profitably is the amortized air time costs. And so if you think about it, this is kind of
what we&#146;ve said in the past is there&#146;s kind of a rule of thumb of think of bandwidth in space as inventory and you&#146;re seeing that right now, right? Whether it&#146;s &#150; it doesn&#146;t matter if it&#146;s GEO or LEO. If you
don&#146;t have enough bandwidth and you add more customers or that you&#146;re saying customers use more bandwidth, speeds can drop and that&#146;s exactly what you&#146;re seeing. For instance, in the LEO where all the speeds are dropping if you
don&#146;t add more bandwidth and the customers you already have use more bandwidth even if you don&#146;t add any new ones. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">So, what we think about is when we
bring on these systems that have big improvements in the airtime economics, well, we tend to value the bandwidth on all of our systems at the lower cost tier market. But that&#146;s kind of the way that you tend to think about bandwidth. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">So we can offer &#150; we&#146;ll be able to offer a lot of the same services that we do on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ViaSat-3</FONT> on the older satellites.
They&#146;re capable of doing it. They don&#146;t &#150; you don&#146;t have to necessarily switch satellite or get a new CPE to be able to get the new services. That&#146;s kind of what the &#150; that&#146;s the payoff of that, and that helps us
to preserve this kind of ratio of lifetime value to customer acquisition cost. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Does that answer your question? </P>
