SpaceQuest, Ltd. 3554 Chain Bridge Road Suite 103 Fairfax, VA 22030—2709 April 26, 2001 Mr. James Burtle, Chief Experimental Licensing Branch Office of Engineering and Technology Federal Communications Commussion P.O. Box 358320 Pittsburgh, PA 15251—5320 RE: Application for New Radio Station Authorization Dear Mr. Burtle: Pursuant to the FCC Rules and Regulations for Experimental Radio Services (47 CFR Part 5), SpaceQuest, Ltd. (the "Company") hereby submits FCC Form 442 Application for a New Radio Station Authorization. This request is in addition to the Experimental License already granted to the Company on July 28, 1999 (File Number: 0091—EX—PL—1999; Call Sign: WA2XYM) and in no respect is it a replacement of parameters set forth in the current authorization. Exhibits 1 and 2 set forth the particulars of this Application. The Company respectfully requests, pursuant to the Commussion‘s Rules (47 CFR Part 0 Subpart C § 0.459), that Exhibits 1 and 2 submitted with FCC Form 442 be treated as confidential and not be made available for public inspection. The expansion of the Company‘s program of research and experimentation as detailed in Exhibits 1 and 2 hereto include testing of technology and systems that, if successful, will be commercialized by the Company to provide next—generation two—way satellite data communications services plus geographic position determination for the tracking and monitoring of high—value assets. The Company will also begin limited market studies to test the viability of certain applications in the marketplace. The technology, methods and systems that the Company will be testing is Company proprietary and constitute trade secrets. Due to the highly technical and competitive nature of satellite tracking and monitoring services as well as the high—cost of technology development that is required to bring these services to market, we believe that this request for confidentiality is justified as specified in § 0.459. Disclosure of such information could result in substantial competitive and financial harm to the Company. Further, the information contained in Exhibits 1 and 2 is not generally available to the public and has not been disclosed by the Page 1
