       Re:     Motient Services Inc. and Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC Application for
               Assignment of Licenses and For Authority to Launch and Operate a Next—
               Generation Mobile Satellite Service System: Lead File No. SAT—ASG—20010302—

       Dear Ms. Roman Salas:

       Please accept this letter as notification that International Space Brokers, pursuant to Public
       Notice dated March 19, 2001, supports the above—captioned application of Motient
       Services Inc. ("Motient") and Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC ("MSV Sub") filed on
       March 2, 2001.

       International Space Brokers has been associated with Motient since 1992; we currently
       negotiate its satellite insurance needs. As a business partner from the very beginning, we
       can attest to the vital backup communications services that Motient provides to a variety of
       organizations, including many emergency management agencies and field service teams.

       Mobile radio and cellular phones provide spotty or no coverage in many regions of the
       country, yet many organizations must still maintain dependable communications under any
       condition. With Motient‘s service, field teams have dependable access to communication
       when traveling in remote regions where analog telephones and pagers do not work. In
       times of national natural disasters, Motient offers reliable emergency response
       communication even when landline and cellular service is out and power lines are down.

       International Space Brokers agrees with Motient and MSV that the new system, as outlined
       in the application, is needed and would continue to improve communications in rural and
       remote communities.

       For these reasons, we believe that you should grant the above—captioned application.

       Very truly yours,

       /éé,ug %‘//W/

       Glen E. Hogan
       Senior Vice President



       co:     Motient Services Inc.
               Mobile Satellite Ventures
