Eutelsat expects that prudent management of capacity and demand for C-band satellite services during and after the transition will allow it to provide substantially the same or better service to incumbent earth station operators without launching any new C-band satellites.
The $3,300,000,000 to $5,200,000,000 in bidder-covered costs are separate from $9,700,000,000 in accelerated clearing payments available to Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, Telesat and Claro if they clear spectrum by early December 2023 instead of early December 2025.
Eutelsat anticipates having $14,900,000 in clearing costs to move its customers into the 200 megahertz of C-band still allocated for satellite use after the FCC’s December spectrum auction.

Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, Telesat, and Claro are estimated to be worthy of $3,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000 in subsidized replacement C-band infrastructure and eligible for up to $9,700,000,000 in incentives if they clear customers out of the spectrum by early December 2023.
Eutelsat estimates $21,000,000 of the $171,000,000 will cover new C-band ground infrastructure and other customer relocation activities.
