             PRINCETON
                          Dear Ms. Dortch:
         FLORHAM PARK

               BERWYN
                                   I am writing, on behalf of Primosphere Limited Partnership ("Primosphere"), with regard
           WILMINGTON
                          to the above—referenced matters and the attached "Motion to Withdraw Application for Review."

                                 Primosphere submitted the attached "Motion to Withdraw Application for Review" to the
                          Commission on April 16, 2004. To counsel‘s knowledge, the Commission has never acted on the
                          Motion and, therefore, Primosphere‘s underlying "Application for Review," submitted on
                          December 21, 2001, is still pending before the Commission.

                                  Primosphere hereby withdraws its attached, April 16, 2004, "Motion to Withdraw
                          Application for Review," and hereby notifies the Commission that it intends to continue
                          prosecuting its December 21, 2001 "Application for Review." Therefore, Primosphere‘s above—
                          referenced application for authorization to launch and operate satellite systems in the Satellite
                          Digital Audio Radio Service is deemed to be still pending. See Section 1.935(c)(2) of the
                          Commission‘s rules.

                                 Please address any questions concerning this matter, and copies of all correspondence, to
                          undersigned counsel for Primosphere Limited Partnership.

                                                                              Very truly yours,

                MOTION TO WITHDRAW APPLICATION FOR REVIEW


       Primosphere Limited Partnership ("Primosphere"), by its attorneys, hereby moves to

withdraw its Application for Review of the International Bureau‘s dismissal of Primosphere‘s

above—referenced application for authority to construct, launch and operate two satellites in the

Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service.

       On December 21, 2001, Primosphere filed an Application for Review stating that the

International Bureau‘s decision to dismiss its application was predicated solely on the

Commission‘s affirmation of the Bureau‘s grants of SDARS licenses to XM Radio, Inc. and

Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc (the "License Orders").        Primosphere further stated that it had filed

with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ("Cofrt of Appeals")

Petitions/Notices of Appeal seeking review of the Commission‘s orders affirming the License

Orders. Primosphere also filed a Reply on February 7, 2002.

       On February 21, 2003, the Court of Appeals denied Primosphere‘s appeals and affirmed

the Commission‘s decisions. Accordingly, Primosphere now voluntarily and unilaterally

withdraws its Application for Review and associated Reply.


                 Respectfully submitted,

                 PRIMOSPHERE LIMITED PARTNERSHP
