              Re:     MOBILE SATELLITE USERS ASSOCIATION
                      Motion to Withdraw Filings
                      File Nos. SAT-MOD-20031 118-00333, SAT-AMD-20031118-00332,

Dear Ms. Dortch:
                 The Mobile Satellite Users Association (MSUA) submits this letter in the above
proceedings in which MSUA raised concerns about the potential for interference into the MSS
from the implementation of ATC in the MSS bands. We understand that Mobile Satellite
Ventures LP, Mobile Satellite Ventures (Canada) Inc., and Inmarsat Global Limited recently
entered into a long-term coordination agreement regarding the operation of Inmarsat’s and
MSV’s communications systems in North America, and that, pursuant to that agreement, and
subject to it being accepted by the relevant Administrations (United States, Canada, and the
United Kingdom), Inmarsat has withdrawn its Application for Review and other filings in the
above proceedings. For these reasons, and based on the assurances of Inmarsat and MSV (as
corporate members of MSUA) that our concerns are being addressed with the FCC, MSUA
withdraws its filing dated January 11,2005 with respect to the above proceedings.

              For the avoidance of doubt, MSUA is not withdrawing its filing dated January 11,
2005 with respect to the ATC Rulemaking, IB Docket No. 01-185.

               Please contact the undersigned with any questions regarding this matter.

                                                        Respectfully submitted,




                                                        Tim Farrar
                                                        MSUA President
