That satellite system was developed and implemented by governments that joined together in INTELSAT and another intergovernmental organization, the International Mobile Satellite Organization (Inmarsat), which was organized to provide maritime communications, including services for the safety of life and rescue at sea.
For example, the intergovernmental organizations, INTELSAT and Inmarsat, have enjoyed a variety of advantages deriving from their intergovernmental status; in particular, many of the signatories are wholly or partially government-owned and also may serve as the regulatory authorities that make decisions about which satellite systems will have access to their domestic markets.
The organization is considerably larger, in terms of its capacity and volume of services, than any of the other satellite systems throughout the world.\5 Some analysts have suggested that its large number of satellites and extensive capacity to provide communications services give INTELSAT an ability to dominate the market to the detriment of other firms.

 Inmarsat Privatization Fails To Win Consensus - 6/2/1997 - Wireless Week - CA4896   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
WASHINGTON--The International Maritime Satellite Organization's privatization efforts appear to have met the same roadblock that the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization's restructuring attempts confronted earlier this year.
While all parties agree that the operative word for reconfiguring both treaty-based organizations is "privatization," the 80 member nations have been unable to agree on the extent of private control for either company.
For the U.S. satellite communications industry, fair regulatory treatment and assurances that government-controlled operations will not subsidize "privatized" operations are more critical than the precise percentage of public ownership.
