                   Inmarsat replies to the pleadings filed in response to the Petitions for
    Reconsideration ofthe two Orders in which the Commission: (1) assigned the entie 2 GHz band
    to TMI and ICO (the "2 GHz Order®); and (2) dismissed Inmarsat‘s Petition for Declaratory
    Ruling (°PDR") to provide MSS at 2 GHz.
                   In its Petition for Reconsideration, Inmarsat demonstrated that the decision to
    assign the entire 2 GHe band to TMI and ICO was based on the following flawed and
    unsubstantiated assumptions: (})other MSS operators do not need access to 2 GHz because they
    can use other bands to provide the services possible at 2 GHz; (i) TMI should have access to
more 2 GHz spectrum because it does not have other MSS interests; and (i) awarding the entire
2 GHz band to TMI and 1CO will produce public safety and rural broadband benefitsdifferent
from those that competing applicants would be able to provide. Moreover, Inmarsat showed that
the Commission failed to address altemative solutions that would serve the public interest better
than licensing to duopoly at 2 GHe today.
                  Globalstar‘s Petition for Reconsideration reiterated manyof these same themes,
emphasizing that the public interest determinations in the 2 GH: Order were "both premature
and unsubstantiated."" CTIA and T—Mobile support Inmarsat‘s and Globalstar‘s calls for

    reconsideration. As T—Mobile states: "the 2 GHz MSS Order cannot withstand APA serutiny, as
    it relies upon unrealistic assumptions, fails to fully consider rational suggestions, and arrives at
    an unsupported conclusion that is contrary to any reasonable interpretation ofthe record
    evidence.""
                   Only two parties oppose reconsideration:. TMI and ICO, the recipients ofthe 2
    GHz spectrum windfall. Significantly, TMI and 1CO fail t refute the identiied deficiencies of
    the 2 GHz Order. Instead, TMI and 1CO rely on arguments that the Commission expressly
    declined to consider, and on factors that would apply equallyto all potential 2 GHz MSS
    operators. Moreaver, TMI and ICO fail to address how it better serves the public interest to
assign the entire 2 GHz band tthem, rather than to authorizeadditional MSS providers, and
thereby provide for increased competition in the band.
                   Forthe reasons provided in Inmarsat‘s Petition for Reconsideration, and those set
forth below, the Commission should reconsiderits decisions and reinstate Inmarsat‘s PDR to
provide MSS to the United States at 2 GHz.

                  Inmarsat‘s and Globalstar‘s Petiions show that the 2 GHz spectrum award to TMI

and 1CO was unsubstantiated. Namely,there is no rational basis on which to conclude that
greater public safety and rural broadband services would accrue by increasing 1CO‘s and TMI‘s
spectrum assignments by 250 percent, rather than by allowing a third (or possibly a fourth)
competitor in the band." This is particularly true when two qualified MSS operators—Inmarsat

    and Globalstar—were on record with proposals to meet those very same public safety and rural
    broadband needs by the end of the decade."

                   Instead of addressing these legal shortcomings, TMI and ICO argue that a number
    ofdifferent considerations could support the Commission‘s decision: (1) their plans for an ATC
    network; (2) the technical capabilities ofTMI‘s proposed spacecraft;and (3) the speed at which
    TMI and 1CO could deploy their hybrid MSS/ATC networks." As Inmarsat demonstrated inits
    Petition for Reconsideration, in reaching its decision, the Commission expressly rejected each of
    these factors as not relevant. Moreover, these considerations would not support the decision to
    award the entire 2 GHz band to TMI and 1CO in any event.
                  ATC: Commission policy is clear that ATC is nota legitimate justification for

    secking additional spectrum. Moreover, the Commission emphasized in the 2 GH Order that it
    did not "reach() tissue ofwhether ICO and TMUTerreStar need additional spectrum to
provide ATC, as they claim."". For this reason, the virtually identical letters from state and local
public safety officials that TMI and ICO tout in their Oppositions® are not "compelling," or even
remotely probative: those letters support the award ofspectrum so that TMI and 1CO can
provide ATC? Even if the Commission were to change its policy and rely on ATC plans to

justify the spectrum award, there would be no reason to provide ICO‘s or TMUTerreStar‘s 2

 GHz ATC plans any greater weight than Inmarsat‘s or Globalstar‘s. Neither ICO nor TerreStar
 has ever provided commercial satelite service, submitted an application to provide ATC, or
 committed to a specific ATC deployment schedule.
                   Spacecraft Design: ‘TMI‘s reliance on the technical capabilities ofts proposed
 spacecraftlikewise is unavailing.." The Commission appropriately placed no weight on TMI‘s
spacecraft design."" Commission policy is clear that TMI cannot "bootstrap"" itway into more
spectrum by building a larger spacecraft than the Commission has authorized."" Even if the
Commission were to change that policy, the 2 GHz Order does not address why TMI‘s and
1CO‘s stil—evolving 2 GHz networks would provide greater public interest benefitsthan
Inmarsat‘s (or Globalstar‘s) 2 GHz spacecraft design.
               Deployment; 1CO attempts tojustify its spectrum award by claiming
that the decision "would ensure that the spectrum would be broughtinto use more quickly than if
the spectrum were assigned to others.""". 1CO ignores the Commission‘s express rejection of
"speed"as the basis for increasing 1CO‘s and TM!‘s spectrum assignments,and the clear finding
that increased speed ofdeployment would not outweigh giving other entities an opportunity to
compete at 2 GHz."* In this regard, it bears emphasis that Inmarsat and Globalstar provided the
Commission with proposals for expeditiously authorizing competing MSS providers, and each
indicated that it could deploy is 2 GHz system by the end of the decade. Thus, even if speed of
deployment were considered, others could be in a position to bring the returned spectrum into
use soon after ICO and TMI are required to commence commercial 2 GHservice.

                 Other than these three factors (which do not justify the spectrum windfally, 1CO‘s

and TMI‘s Oppositions offer only vague platitudes about how MSS generally can provide public
safety and rural broadband benefits. Again, there is no reason to believe that TMI and 1CO are
better suited to provide those benefitsthan the two other entities who stand ready to deploy at 2
GHz—Inmarsat and Globalstar. Moreover, as both Globalstar and CTIA aptly note, neither I1CO
nor TMI is required to serve the needs of first responders or to provide broadband services in
rural areas.." Thus, there can be no basis to conclude that awarding more spectrum to ICO and

TMI would better advance those goals than authorizing additional competitorsin the band. To
the contrary, as Inmarsat has explained, courtsare clear in waring that the creation ofa duopoly
raises the risk that consumers will not receive the benefits that result from healthy competition.®

                 In addition to the absence of substantiated reasoning, the 2 GHz Order is legally
deficient because it failed to address several relevant ssues and altemative proposals.

                 First, the Commission failed to address the aspects ofthe 2 GHz band that make it
uniquely suited among MSS bands to support high—data—zate, next—generation multimedia MSS

offerings over mobile handheld devices, and that highlight the dangers of licensing to duopoly at
2 GHz."" Although the Commission concluded that 2 GHMSS providers will be able to
compete with MSS operators in other bands, the Commission simply did not address the
converse: whether other MSS bands can support the same product offerings as those proposed at

   provide broadband service, nor any specification ofthe data rates they must achieve or the
   other salient conditions on which they are to provide "broadband service" to "rural areas."

 a2 oHe."
                1CO‘s cursory responses to these competitive issues do not bear scrutiny. The
 fact that Inmarsat will soon introduce BGAN service at L—Band in the United States does not
 obviate the need for further competition at 2 GHz. The future opportunitiesto deploy 2 GHz
multimedia services to handheld MSS devices are far different than any of the services that
Inmarsat is able to offer at L—Band today or in the near term. TMI admits as much.""
               Nori it relevant, as 1CO asserts, that the Commission has not chosen to extend to
the 2 GHz band the same licensing reform rulesthat apply in other bands."" The policy
underlying those rules,firsarticulated in the DIRECTY/EchoStar Hearing Designation Order,
applies with equal force here. In that case, the Commission recognized that the anticipated
provision of broadband services in a nascent frequency band presents issues that warrant a much
more sophisticated look at the definitions of markets and market participants than those assumed
by 1CO‘s and TMI‘s broad—brush assertions thatall MSS frequency bands are fungible. In fact,

one ofthe very reasons the Commission designated for hearing the proposed
DIRECTV/EchoStar merger was a concem about the transaction‘s impact on the provision of
broadband services by satellite in the nascent Ka band."" Nor is there any record basis here to

conclude that the broadband MSS services to be provided in the nascent 2 GHz: Band would be
reasonably interchangeable with MSS services possible in other bands."" Nothing in the various

 the record."
                Second, the Commission ignored the fact that TMIis an incumbent MSS provider

 with close business ties t, and substantial overlapping ownership with, MSV. In fact, MSV
 does not dispute Globalstar‘s documentation of that relationship in its Petition.®" Thus, the
 Commission‘s stated inclination to award the returned spectrum to "new entrants,"rather than to
 existing MSS operators, is fatly inconsistent with the decision to award more 2 GHz spectrum to
 TM.*" In fact, despite the stated desire to facilitate new entrants, as a result ofthe 2 GHz Order,
the MSV/TMI ventures have approximately twice the amount ofMSS spectrum over the
Americas as any other provider.""
                Contrary to what TMI assers, the Commission did not "find" that TMI, TerreStar,
and MSV‘s MSS businesses are "independent." The Commission‘s sifence on this issue cannot
be construed as a conclusion that TerreStar and MSV "are separately owned and managed,...
will operate separate MSS systems, and thatthe two companies plan to compete against one
another.""" Nor could the Commission have assumed that the 2 GHz spectrum awarded to TMI
wltimately would be held by an independent, new entrant. TMI stll holds its 2 GHz
authorization, and, as recent press releases reflect, the possible restructuring ofthe relationship
between and among TM, MSV, and TerreStar remains in Nux."

                Third, the Commission simply failed address several ofInmarsat‘s proposals that
 would both (i) avoid prematurely constraining access to the 2 GHz band to two entities who
 remain years away from deploying their systems, and (i) allow the entry of a third (and possibly
 a fourth) 2 GHz competitor, without undue delay."" Inmarsat proposed incentives to ensure
 additional competitors would commence service as quickly as possible, and offered a way to
 increase TMI‘s and ICO‘s spectrum assignments to 2 x 6.67 MHz (as the Commission originally
proposed) while also licensing additional competition in the band."" While TMI debates the

merits of one of these proposals for the first time now," 1CO erroncously argues that the

Commission was not required to address them at all."
               TM! criticizes Inmarsat‘s proposal wherchy the award of 2 GHz spectrum rights
would go to the first of several competitors t actually deploy a satelite system in the band.""
Contrary to what TMI would have the Commission believe, this type of market—based solution
already has proven effective in facilitating innovation in the satelite industry. Entreprencurs
have funded a number of inititives that have competed for (and won)the $10 Million prize in
the X Prize Cup, which was established to spur technological innovation in space."" If funding is
available for speculative space ventures that seek to claim such a prize, there is no reason to
assume that funding would not be readily available to pursue the spectrum "prize" that is 2 GHz.

                1CO is wrong that the Commission was not obliged to consider these types of

 proposals that Inmarsat submitted in response to the Commission‘s express soliciation*

 Inmarsat chose the latter procedural vehicle, which it has standing to pursue by virtue of its
 active participation in this proceeding and its PDR."
        B.       Reconsideration of Inmarsat‘s Petition for Declaratory Ruling Is Warranted

                 In its Petition, Inmarsat urged, to the extent the Commission revisitsits 2 GHz
 decision, that the Bureau reconsider the dismissal ofInmarsat‘s PDR to provide 2 GHz MSS
 service to the United States.‘ That resultis warranted because the only reason Inmarsat‘s PDR
 was dismissed was that the entire 2 GHz band already had been awarded to TMI and 1CO.
 Neither TMI nor 1CO disputes that reconsideration of Inmarsat‘s PDR would be appropriate in
these circumstances."" Thus, Inmarsat reiterates its request that the Commission reinstate
Inmarsat‘s PDR and grant Inmarsat authority to compete as a third provider of2 GHz MSS.

                For the foregoing reasons, the Commission should reconsider its 2 GHz Order

and reinstate Inmarsat‘s Petition for Declaratory Ruling to provide 2 GHz MSS.
