Dear Mr. Janka,


On August 8, 2011, Inmarsat Hawaii Inc. (Inmarsat) filed a Letter of Intent seeking to use the
planned INMARSAT—KA97 space station to access the United States using portions of the Ka—
band at the 97.11° W.L. orbital location.‘ Pursuant to Section 25.111(a) of the Commission‘s
rules," we request that Inmarsat provide, by letter, additional information to facilitate the
processing of the application.

In its application, Inmarsat states the INMARSAT—KA97 space station will be launched and
operated under the authority of the United Kingdom. To facilitate review of this application,
please state whether Inmarsat has obtained launch and operational authority under the United
Kingdom Outer Space Act from the UK Space Agency for the INMARSAT—KA97 space
station. If not, please provide a statement detailing the status of the application process for such
authority. Also, please indicate whether Inmarsat has assessed whether there are sufficient ties to
the United Kingdom to provide the UK Space Agency the basis for issuing an authorization, e.g.,
procurement of a launch through a UK company.

We request that Inmarsat respond to this letter by January 17, 2012, with a copy to Alyssa
Roberts of my staff (Alyssa.Roberts@fcee.gov). Failure to respond may result in dismissal of the
application, pursuant to Sections 25.112(c) and 25.152(b) of the Commission‘s rules."

                                                  Sincerely,


                                                  PPoriizmn,
