Please pay attention to details.
The US NTSB is not a satellite carrier / operator nor an intelligence company. Check their website for further details, scope and positioning within the US administration. The NTSB (and AMSA) got the data that have been collected from the various other sources involved. One of these sources is INMARSAT as owner and operator of the satellite based communication system which received the 'ping' signals form the aircraft.
End of the day, still filtered via a US governmental agency who makes the final call what is data to be considered, and what isn't.
Update: Just checked their site and found no info on MH370 other than their investigators are helping and on March 12:
NTSB UPDATES STATEMENT ON MISSING B-777 INVESTIGATION

National Transportation Safety Board investigators who traveled to Kuala Lumpur over the weekend are assisting Malaysian authorities who are leading the search efforts for the Boeing 777 that went missing five days ago.
Investigators with expertise in air traffic control and radar are providing technical assistance to the Malaysian authorities who are working on locating the missing jetliner.
The NTSB plans no further releases of information on the investigation.
