                                 Selected Assignment of 2 GHz Mobile Satellite Service
                                 Operating Frequencies" (the "Request")

       Dear Ms. Dortch:

              TerreStar Networks Inc. ("TerreStar") hereby withdraws the Request submitted
       by TMI Communications and Company, Limited Partnership ("TMI") on behalf of itself
       and TerreStar‘ for modification of its spectrum reservation to reflect assignment of
       specific operating frequencies in the 2 GHz Mobile Satellite Service bands.

               While TerreStar still would prefer the certainty of designating operating
       frequencies nowin order to build its integrated satellite and terrestrial network in an
       efficient and cost effective manner, TerreStar has concluded that achieving this through


       1 The Request was filed by TMI on behalf of itself and TerreStar, because at the time the
       spectrum reservation for the 2 GHz MSS Letter of Intent ("LOI") authorization was in
       TMI‘s name and it had been proposed in a pending modification application to list the
       spectrum reservation in TerreStar‘s name instead. Since that time, the Commission has
       granted the consent to the modification application. See Order, Application for
       Modification of Spectrum Reservation for 2 GHz Mobile Satellite Service System, DA 07—2028
       {Int‘l Bur., May 10, 2007). Therefore, this withdrawal of the Request is submitted by
       TerreStar.

a regulatory solution is not practicable at this time. TerreStar, therefore, will get as
much certainty as possible through other means and, therefore, will withdraw its
Request for frequency assignment.

       Please direct any questions regarding the foregoing to the undersigned.
