RESPONSE TO QUESTION 14

Inmarsat, Inc. (“Inmarsat”) submits this response to Question 14 of FCC Form
442 out of an abundance of caution. The Commission recently dismissed a Petition for
Declaratory Ruling (the “Petition”) filed by the Inmarsat’s affiliate, Inmarsat Global Limited
(“Inmarsat Global”). Inmarsat Global had sought United States market access to provide MSS in
the 2 GHz Band. Subsequent to Inmarsat Global’s filing, the Commission assigned all 2 GHz
spectrum currently allocated for MSS in the United States to two other satellite operators, and
thus dismissed Inmarsat Global’s Petition.1 Inmarsat Global has sought reconsideration of both
the Commission’s disposition of the 2 GHz Band and the accompanying dismissal of its
Petition.2
