                          PETITIONS FOR RECONSIDERATION                         "EOERALCOMRMUNICATIONS CoMEESSION

        AMSC Subsidiary Corporation ("AMSC") hereby replies to the opposition filed by TRW

Inc. ("TRW*") in response to AMSC‘s Petition for Reconsideration of the Commission‘s order

granting TRW‘s above—referenced application. Order and Authorization, DA 95—130 (January

31, 1995).

       In its Petition for Reconsideration, AMSC asked the Commiuission to clarify that grant of

the license to TRW would be conditioned on the outcome ofthe rulemaking in the proceeding,

which was itself subject to reconsideration at the time the Commission granted TRW‘s license.

Report and Order, CC Docket No. 92—166, FCC 94—261, 9 FCC Red 5936 (19945. AMSC is

seeking reconsideration of the rulemaking on a number of grounds, including the Commission‘s

exclusion of systems using geostationarysatellites. AMSC Petition for Reconsideration, CC

Docket No. 92—166 (November 21, 1994), at 8—1 1.

       TRW opposes AMSC‘s Petition for Reconsideration ofits grant, arguing that it should

not be "held hostage" to the future actions of those who pursued their rights in the rulemaking.

       AMSC is not attempting to hold TRW thostage." AMSC did not oppose the grant of

TRW‘s application and AMSC does not oppose TRW‘s going forward with the construction of

its system, subject only to whatever modifications might be mandated by the ultimate outcome of


                                                   2

the rulemaking. AMSC is merely asking the Commission to clarify that whatever rights TRW

has as a result of the grant of its application those rights are subject to the outcome of the

underlying rulemaking, which is not yet complete.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
