In order to eliminate the need for Globalstar to file multiple oppositions in response to Iridium‘s pleading, as well as to any other pleadings that may be submitted once Globalstar‘s Amendment and Application is placed on Public Notice (which Globalstar hopes will happen in the near future), Globalstar respectfully requests permission to defer filing its opposition to Iridium‘s pleading until the deadline set forth in section 25.154(c) of the Commission‘s rules for opposing formal petitions to deny Globalstar‘s Amendment and Application.*‘ As Iridium * See Globalstar Licensee LLC, GUSA Licensee LLC, and GCL Licensee LLC — Amendment To Application For Modification of Mobile Satellite Service Space Station License and Application For Modification of Mobile Satellite Service Earth Station and Mobile Earth | Terminal Licenses, File Nos.

WILMERHALE January 7, 2010 Page 2 recognizes in its Opposition, "Globalstar‘s application. .. warrants a Public Notice so that all interested parties will be alerted to Globalstar‘s proposals and can participate in the proceeding."* Iridium further states in its pleading that it "reserves the right to file a Petition to Deny pursuant to Section 25.154" after Globalstar‘s Amendment and Application is placed on Public Notice.*" By promptly placing Globalstar‘s Amendment and Application out for comment, the Bureau will ensure that all interested parties are given notice of, and have a full and fair opportunity to comment on, it. Globalstar can then file a consolidated response to any and all oppositions, petitions, and comments, including Iridium‘s opposition. This will avoid the need for overlapping and repetitive filings that likely would result if Globalstar were required to respond seriatim to Iridium‘s pleading and then to any formal Petitions to Deny its Amendment and Application that may be filed once it is placed out for comment. Accordingly, Globalstar hereby requests leave to file a consolidated opposition to Iridium‘s opposition and any petitions that may be submitted once Globalstar‘s Amendment and Application is placed on Public Notice, in accordance with the deadline established by section 25.154. Establishment of a consolidated opposition deadline will not harm any party to this proceeding and will serve the public interest by enabling all interested parties to participate in the proceeding and avoiding the need for the parties to file, and the Bureau to consider, repetitive pleadings.
