Comsat—> 3812147859 Conmsat MHobile Corp Page 828 REQUEST FOR SPACE SEGMENT CAPACITY TO OPERATE INMARSAT TERMINALS FROM LAND—BASED LOCATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") requires COMSAT Corporation ("COMSAT") to obtain authority prior to providing service to Inmarsat terminals operated from land—based (i.e., nonmaritime locations] within the United States,. The FCC will only grant domestic service authority to COMSAT under certain circumstances. The FCC‘s determination is made on a case—by—case basis with regard to the specific facts of each request. For instance, the FCC has authorized COMSAT to provide space segment capacity in the United States where: {1) the capacity is required to test and demonstrate the communications capabilities of an Inmarsat terminal to prospective customers; (2) the performance of an Inmarsat terminal is to be tested prior to sending/taking it abroad; (3) personnel are to be trained in the use of Inmarsat terminal(s) prior to being deployed abroad; (4) an Inmarsat terminal is needed for emergency communications (either as backup communications or disaster relief); or (5) an Inmarsat terminal is required to provide services from a remote location where no alternative means of communications is available. Therefore, the following information is necessary for COMSAT to prepare its request for authority from the FCC to provide domestic Inmarsat space segment capacity to your terminal{(s) in a timely manner. The more specific and detailed the information you provide us about the Intended use(s) of the terminal, the more likely it will be that COMSAT will be able to obtain timely FCC authorization to provide the services you need!
