The document provides an overview of SES Broadband Services and their vision for the future of internet, TV, and voice over satellite. Some key points: - SES sees satellite broadband as a solution to connect rural and underserved areas, with download speeds now up to 20 Mbps. - Internet speeds from terrestrial operators often fail to meet advertised promises. Satellite broadband can help address this digital divide. - Emerging markets present opportunities for last mile connectivity via satellite as populations grow and demand internet access. - SES offers satellite broadband solutions across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East to both individuals and businesses.

- 4. Broadband in rural areas urban legends and laws of physics What is broadband? A clear definition The market for Satellite broadband has changed noticeably in recent years • Downlink speeds approaching 20 Mbps • High speed satellite proposition is well in line with those for terrestrial and mobile services What is broadband? A clear definition LTE networks, have been heavily supported from European governments to diminish the digital divide, however technology and pricing wise LTE has now been able to deliver the undertaking. In short SES forecasts that the fork between who will get fair and fast access to internet versus who will not be able to get decent connectivity will enlarge 4 Observed average speeds 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Average Mbps 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% > 5 Mbps > 2 Mbps <2 Mbps Source: Akamai

Internet Speeds fail to meet promises in Germany Politics under pressure to deliver Over recent years the European Union and its Member States have taken important steps to support growth The main pillar to achieve growth is to enable fast penetration to the vast majority of the population of internet access services. 10 Study Shows The German telecommunications regulator, Bundesnetzagentur, measured the Internet connection speeds of 250,000 consumers, confirming what many German consumers have long suspected: • Internet broadband service is much slower than advertised • The study showed that only 15.7% of those using fixed telephone lines and 21% percent using mobile devices achieved the advertised maximum speeds

- 23. eLearning Rural schools in South Africa Space4Edu, in collaboration with Rally to Read (South Africa, SA) and READ Educational Trust (SA), involves 13 pilot schools located in the KwaZulu Natal region “Rally to Read” (R2R). Is an annual event where sponsor companies, private donors, organisers and participants meet together and visit a set of rural schools in the different regions of SA. Due to the remoteness of the schools, the visits are organised by splitting the participants into teams, each team visits a couple of schools in a day. All this is done using 4x4 SUVs. The visits have a dual purpose: on the one hand to bring books, learning kits, sports equipment and educational toys to the pupils and the teachers, all stuff that is taken for granted in urban schools. 23
