Dear Ms. Dortch:

the proposed assignee of the LOI Authorization.2 For the reasons discussed below, TMI
and TerreStar hereby request a list of the U.S. earth station facilities operating in the
2200—2290 MHz band. TMI and TerreStar ask that the list include the following

1 File Nos. SAT—LOI—19970926—00161, SAT—AMD—20001103—00158, and SAT—MOD—20021114—00237.

           Earth station name
           Earth station location (city, state, and coordinates)
           Antenna diameter, height above average terrain, terrain height, and tracking
 range in elevation and azimuth
        Earth station frequencies/channels

       Section 25.252(a)(6) requires that 2 GHz MSS ancillary terrestrial component
 ("ATC") base stations be located at least 820 meters from U.S. earth station facilities
 operating in the 2200—2290 MHz band and states that 2 GHz MSS licensees should
 request a list of the earth stations when they apply for ATC authority. TMI and
 TerreStar, however, need information concerning the earth stations in order to address
 system design issues in advance of filing an ATC application. It is respectfully
 requested, therefore, that the earth station information identified above be furnished as
 soon as possible.

           Please direct any questions concerning this request to the undersigned.



                                             Sincerely,
