An application for authority to construct, land and operate a non—commoncarrier high capacity
fiber—optic submarine cable system extending between Sydney, Australia and Keawaula, Hawaii
(Sydney—Hawaii Cable System). Applicant, Telstra Incorporated (Telstra USA), is indirectly
wholly—owned by Telstra Corporation Limited (Telstra), an Australian company. The Future
Fund Board of Guardians holds approximately 17% of Telstra‘s shares.

Telstra agrees to abide by the Agreement by and between Reach Ltd., Telstra
Corporation Limited, and Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited, on the one hand, and the
Federal Bureau Investigation, the U.S. Departmentof Justice, and the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security, dated November 29, 2001, as amended.

SkyWave Mobile Communications, Corp. (SkyWave or the "Petitioner") requests a
declaratory ruling thatit is in the public interest for SkyWave to have indirect foreign
ownership in excess of the 25 percent benchmark under section 310(b)(4) ofthe
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Specifically, SkyWave seeks approval for up .
to 100% indirect foreign ownership by the foreign individuals and entities named in the
petition. In addition, SkyWave seeks approval for foreign ownership that would result
from the conversion of warrants and stock options forits ultimate parent company,
SkyWave Mobile Communications, Inc. (SMCT). It also seeks approval for the named
foreign investors and other foreign investors to acquire up to and including an additional,
aggregate 25% indirect equity and/or voting interests without seeking further
Commission approval under section 310(b)(4). SkyWave has filed a companion
application for consent to the pro forma transfer ofcontrol ofits blanket mobile earth
terminal license (File No. SES—T/C—20070531—00738) and an amendment to its pending
Title III application to use the Inmarsat 4F2 satellite (SES—AMD—20070531—00739) in its
provision of Inmarsat D+ service.

SkyWave is a Delaware corporation that is wholly owned by SkyWave Mobile Holdings,
Corp. (SMHC), a Delaware holding company. SMHC, in turn, is wholly owned by
SMCI, a Canadian corporation. On January 8, 2004, the Commission issued SkyWave a
declaratory ruling that approved its 100% indirect foreign ownership by SMCI and
SMCI‘s named Canadian shareholders, subject to certain conditions. Public Notice, DA
04—25, 19 FCC Red 275 (IB 2004) (granting ISP—PDR—20030311—00006) ("©2004
Ruling"). According to the Petitioner, on April 20, 2007, new shareholders acquired
ownership interests in SMCI as part of a new round of financing. Petitioner states that,
when these new shareholdings are combined with existing shareholdings not previously
approved in the 2004 Ruling, the combined amount exceeds the allowance permitted
under the ruling for an additional, aggregate 25% indirect foreign equity and voting
interests in SkyWave.


Petitioner seeks approval for the following individuals and entities to hold indirect equity
and voting interests in SkyWave, in addition to the shareholders previously approved in
the 2004 Ruling: Mahkota SA (organized in Luxembourg with a principal place of
business in Luxembourg or Brunei) (25.16%); Partenon Holdings, LLC (U.S.—organized
with a principal place of business in Brazil) (2.52%); GTI V, LP and GTI V (NR), LP
(both organized and principally conducting business in Canada (collectively, 8.37%);
1168433 Ontario, Inc. (organized and principally conducting business in Canada)
(0.26%); and four named Canadian citizens (collectively, 0.69%). SMCI shareholders
approved in the 2004 Ruling continue to hold equity and voting interests as specified in
the petition, at levels below those approved in the 2004 Ruling.

Petitioner also requests approval for warrants and stock options for SMCI so that these
convertible interests can be redeemed without further Commission approval under section
310(b)(4). In particular, MMV Financial, a Canadian corporation with its principal
place of business in Canada, holds warrants that, if exercised, would represent an equity
and voting interest of approximately 1.29% based on the current number of outstanding
shares of SMCI. SkyWave also seeks approval for stock options that have been granted
but not exercised under SMCI‘s employee stock option plan. The named individuals that
hold granted stock options are citizens of Canada, Brazil, China, Peru, Singapore,
Hong Kong, and Mexico.

Petitioner asserts that, pursuant to the rules and policies establishedin the Commission‘s
Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Red 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15
FCC Red 18158 (2000), the indirect foreign equity and votmg interests for whichit seeks
approval are consistent with the public interest.


If we do not hear from you by C.O.B. July 18, 2007, we will assume that you do not
have any concerns with the above listed applications.


                                                      Sincerely,
                                                                         lz              .
