Pursuant to the Commission‘s rules, "[where the public interest so requires in a particular proceeding, the Commission and ts staffretain the discretion to modify the applicable ex parte miles by order, leter,or public notice."" 47 C.F.R. § 1.1200(a). The proceedings involve applications filed by MSV on November 4, 2005 for modification of its license to operate an Ancillary Terrestrial Component ("ATC") in conjunction with the existing and planned L—band Mobile Satellite Service (‘MSS") systems ofMSV and Mobile Satellite Ventures (Canada) Inc. ("MSV Canada). The applications were opposed by Inmarsat Ventures Limited." ‘ The Bureau initilly assigned the file number SES—MOD—20051 104—02556 to one of MSV‘s applications but later changed this file number to SES—MOD—20051110—0156. MSV is fling this Response in both files out of an abundance of caution. * See Inmarsat Ventures Limited, Opposition, File Nos. SAT—MOD—20051 104—00212, SAT— MOD—20051 104—0021 1, SES—MOD—20051 104—02556 (January 13, 2006).

‘The applications involve technical issues, for which the free exchange of views, particularly with Commission engineers, will be useful in creating a more complete record."
