                            MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

         Inmarsat Ventures plc ("Inmarsat"), by counsel and pursuant to Section 1.46 of

the Commuission‘s rules, hereby requests an extension of time in which to submit

responsive comments in the above—captioned proceeding. The current deadline for filing

responses in this proceeding is May 14, 2001 .. Inmarsat requests that the Commission

grant an extension of one week and set a new deadline for submission of responses of

May 21, 2001.


         Inmarsat filed a Partial Petition to Deny the above—captioned application on April

18, 2001. Comments and petitions to deny were filed by numerous other parties as well.

On May 7, 2001, Motient Services, Inc., and Mobile Satellite Ventures, Subsidiary, LLC

(collectively, "Motient‘), together with TMI Communications and Company, Limited

Partnership ("TMI®), filed a Consolidated Opposition to Petitions to Deny and Reply to



‘ The current deadline was established pursuant to a Motion for Extension of Time filed by Motient
Services, Inc., and Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary, LLC, on April 25, 2001.


Comments (*"Consolidated Opposition"). In their Consolidated Opposition, Motient and

TMI offer extensive technical arguments in response to Inmarsat‘s concerns that

Motient‘s proposed terrestrial operations will cause co—channel and adjacent channel

interference to other L—Band MSS operators.


        Inmarsat now seeks an extension in order to enable it to prepare a pleading fully

responsive to the technical arguments raised in the Consolidated Opposition of Motient

and TMI. Grant of this request will serve the public interest by ensuring that the

Commission will have the most complete and well—developed record possible on which to

decide this matter.


        Counsel for Inmarsat has notified all of the parties to this proceeding regarding

this request, as well as Commussion staff. Of those parties counsel for Inmarsat was able

to contact directly, none have objected to the requested extension.


                                                     Respectfully submitted,
