           Dear Ms. Dortch:

               On November 15, 2005, Peter Karabinis, Senior Vie President and Chief
        Technical Officer ofMobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (*MSV"); and Bruce
        Jacobs and David Konezal ofPilisbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, counsel for MSV;
        met with William Bell, Richard Engleman, Howard Gribof®, Andrea Kelly, Karl
        Kensinger, Scott Kotler, Kathym Medley, Robert Nelson, and Sean O‘More ofthe
        International Bureau regarding MSV‘s above—referenced application for modification of
        its icense to operate an Ancillary Terrestrial Component ("ATC®). In adition to
        discussing the document attached hereto, MSV elaborated on the public interest benefits
        of the waivers it is secking, which are discussed on pages 9—11 ofthe Technical Appendix
        of the application. Among other things, the requested base station waivers will minimize
        the cost and complexity of deploying an ATC network, meaning ATC can be deployed
        more expeditiously and at ess cost. The requested waiver pertaining to the EIRP of user
        devices will afford MSV additional fexibility thatis important to offering new and
        innovative services.
                 Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned.
                                             muy
                                             Very yours,

MSV‘s APPLICATION FOR MODIFICATION OF AUTHORITY TO OPERATE
            AN ANCILLARY TERRESTRIAL COMPONENT

                              Fundamental Relationship

LetP; and B; denote the EIRP (Watts) and the bandwidth (He) of a carrier,respectively,
of a first protocol(eg., GSM).. The EIRP spectral density (Le., the equivalent isotropic
radiated power spectral density, "PSD") ofthe carrier may be expressed as:
     10tog (P/B;) = 10tlog (P)) — 10#log (B;); dBWIHz                            0)
Let P; and B3 denote the EIRP (Watts) and the bandwidth (Hz) of a carier, respectively,
of a second protocal (eg., edma2000). The EIRP spectral density associated with M
second carriers, ach radiating the same EIRP, P», can be expressed as:
     10tlog [M*(P;/B;)] = 10tlog (M) + 10tlog (?.) — 10tlog (B;); dBW/kiz         (2)
Equating equation (1) to equation (2) and solving for M; we find:
    y = 1 000te 4) 10tog (22)+ 10tlog (B)— 10tiog (B))10                          ®

Application: Let us assumethat 10log (P;)= 0 dBW and 10tlog (B;) = 53 dBHz as
may be the case for a GSM retum link carrier (200 kz bandwidth and EIRP = 1 Watt.
For a second protocol let us assume 10*log (P»)=—6 dBW (Le., EIRP = 0.25 Watts) and a
carrier bandwidth of 1.25 MHz; thatis, 10*log (B;)= 61 dBHz, as may be the case for a
retum link edma2000 carrier radiating one code. Substituting these values into equation
(3)above we find:
                     M = 1000+ 6+ 6!—5300 2. 1 p(4}10 2. 95

This means that the PSD potential that may be generated by a fully—loaded return link
GSM carrier (al eight ime slots loaded) is indistinguishable from the PSD potential that
may be generated by 25 edmme2000 retur link carriers each radiating one code or by one
edmma2000 retur link carrier radiating 25 codes (cach at —6 dBW EIRP).
