ICO Global Communications (Holdings) Limited [NASDAQ: ICOG] has entered into a contract with Delphi Corp. [PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ] to develop advanced DVB-SH user terminals for its ICO mim mobile interactive media service. Under the agreement, ICO has exclusive rights to all DVB-SH devices developed by Delphi for use in the mobile satellite services (MSS) spectrum band in North America for the next three years. Delphi is expected to deliver initial units in December 2008. They will also design ICO’s first aftermarket user devices. Delphi plans to co-market ICO’s interactive mobile video, navigation and emergency communications services to automotive manufacturers. On April 14, ICO successfully launched ICO G1, a geosynchronous satellite covering the United States. ICO G1 is one of the largest commercial satellites ever launched and is specifically designed to deliver services to mobile users. Alpha trials for ICO mim will take place later in 2008 in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina and Las Vegas, Nevada.
