Dear Messrs. Levin, Jacobs and Konczal;

        On January 6, 2005, Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (MSV Subsidiary) filed a motion
for an additionalextension of ime to file a response to the Comments of DIRECTV, Inc. and the
Opposition of PanAmSat Corporation, Intelsat LLC and SES Americom, Inc. in the referenced
proceeding. We deny the Motion.
        MSV Subsidiary‘s response was originally due on November 23, 2004. MSV Subsidiary sought
and was granted two extensions — with the response now due on January 10, 2005. MSV Subsidiary had
asserted that additional time would allow it to attempt to resolve itsdifference with the opposing parties.
MSV Subsidiary now seeks to extend the time for fling its response for an additional thirty days, until
February 10, 2005. This is nearly three months past the original due date.
        Section 1.46(a) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.46(a), states motions for extensions of
time will not be granted routinely. In addition, Section 146(b) of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.ER. §
1.46(b) requires that motions for extensions oftime shall be filed seven days before the filing date.. In an
emergency situation, we may consider a late—filed motion for a brief extension of time related to the
duration ofthe emergency.. MSV Subsidiary has provided no information regarding an emergeney
situation, nor a compelling reason to grant an additional extension. Indeed, we have afforded MSV
Subsidiary ample time in which to reach a settlement with the opposing partics.


        Therefore, pursuant to Section 0.261 ofthe Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C..R.
§.0.261, Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC‘s Consent Motion for Extension ofTime IS DENIED.
MSV Subsidiary‘s response in the reference proceeding is due on or before January 10, 2005.
                                                  Sincerely,

                                                   fam oainaiicd
                                                  Fem J. Jarmulnck;
                                                  Deputy Chie
                                                  Satellite Division
