Telenor Satellite Services Agrees to Extend Iridium Quality of Service Offer



    Telenor Satellite Services, a subsidiary of Telenor of Norway
    (Oslo Stock Exchange: TEL and NASDAQ: TELN), today confirmed that it
    is extending Iridium Satellite's "Network Quality Guarantee" program
    to its global distribution network of service providers.

    The offer applies to Telenor service providers and customers using
    Iridium services and who meet the program qualifications developed by
    Iridium Satellite.

    Under the terms of Iridium's recently announced program, Iridium
    will work through Telenor to credit up to 100 minutes of airtime and
    three months of free subscription fees, if the Iridium network fails
    to complete properly initiated voice calls from customers' new Iridium
    handsets.

    "We are pleased to have Telenor participate in our Network Quality
    Guarantee program," said Greg Ewert, executive vice president of
    Iridium Satellite. "It is only through the strength of our partners'
    customer service that Iridium is able to truly implement such a
    powerful program. Telenor is a valued Iridium partner and we
    appreciate the excellent support the company provides to Iridium
    customers."

    "Telenor Satellite Services is committed to offer reliable,
    high-quality services to its global network of distribution partners
    and their customers," said Anders Kallerud, executive vice president
    for Channel Sales for Telenor Satellite Services. "Iridium's Network
    Quality Guarantee is tangible proof of both Iridium's and Telenor's
    commitment to this high standard of service."

    The Iridium Network Quality Guarantee began on February 15, 2007,
    and is valid for new customers using Iridium handheld satellite
    phones. If a customer is dissatisfied with the quality of Iridium's
    network service within the first 90 days of service activation, the
    customer may submit a claim through their participating Telenor
    Satellite Services provider. Iridium will work with Telenor to ensure
    issues are not related to user error or improper usage, and, if
    possible, will provide assistance to remediate any problems to the
    customer's satisfaction. If the claim is deemed valid, Iridium will
    promptly issue the customer credits through Telenor Satellite
    Services.

    Telenor Satellite Services is one of Iridium's largest global
    providers in total airtime sales.
