Recelved & Inspected June 9, 2011 JUN 2 0 2011 FCC Mail Room Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: In the Matter of LightSquared Subsidiary LLC Request for Modification of its Authority for an Ancillary Terrestrial Component; SAT—MOD—20101118—00239 Dear Ms. Dortch: It has come to my attention that the FCC will soon be making key decisions on a promising new Internet technology called 4G LTE by a company called LightSquared. I wanted to take this opportunity to share my views on the importance of improved broadband to the disabled population. As an active advocate for the disabled population, and a quadriplegic myself, I understand how important connectivity is to providing opportunities for people that often encounter barriers to education, health care and jobs. As you can imagine, physical conditions often limit mobility and improved high speed broadband, such as the network LightSquared is proposing, would provide more opportunities for teleconferencing, education and telecommuting. In addition, I believe that the LightSquared‘s wholesale model would allow for more adapted devices to come to market. As 1 understand the present situation, one key decision is if construction of the potential network should be halted while issues with the GPS system are worked out. I believe that broadband should be a priority, and it seems to make more sense to continue building the network, if the company is willing to do so, while these issues are being worked out. I believe we have already waited too long for this kind of broadband network that can improve the lives of so many. Sincerely, 22y () /}/V/‘f«‘/i/u//i Marilynn Morel _ // 132 Hills Beach Road Biddeford, ME 04005
