BALTIMORE, MD -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/09/07 -- The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, today announced that a securities class action was commenced on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of WorldSpace, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRSP) pursuant to the initial public offering of WorldSpace commencing on or about August 4, 2005 (the "Class Period").

The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The action charges that defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements to the market throughout the Class Period, which statements had the effect of artificially inflating the market price of the Company's securities.

No class has yet been certified in the above action. If you are a member of the proposed class, you may retain counsel of your choice, and you may move the court no later than May 15, 2007 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the proposed class. In order to serve as a lead plaintiff, you must meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the proposed class you need not take any action at this time.

If you acquired shares (or purchased call options or sold put options) of WorldSpace, Inc. during the Class Period indicated and want to discuss your legal rights, you may e-mail or call Brower Piven, who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to answer your questions.
