       The petition of Inmarsat plc (Inmarsat), IBFS File No. SAT—PPL—20081219—00235 (as amended
by IBFS File No. SAT—APL—20090609—00068), pursuant to Section 25.137 of the Commission‘s rules, 47
C.E.R. § 25.137, to modify the "ISAT List" to include the Inmarsat 2F1 satellite, Call Sign $2780, at the
142° W.L. orbital location IS GRANTED. Accordingly, any U.S.—licensed earth station with an ISAT
authorization is permitted to access the Inmarsat 2F1 satellite at the 142° W.L. orbital location in the
1530—1548 and 1626.5—1649.5 MHz bands without additional authorization from the Commission,
provided that the earth station complies with the Commission‘s technical requirements and operates under
the conditions on its license. The grant of this petition is subject to the technical specifications set forth in
Inmarsat‘s petition, the Commission‘s rules, and the following conditions:

          £.      Authority is granted pursuant to Section 25.210(j) of the Commission‘s rules, to permit
operations of earth stations with the Inmarsat 2F1 satellite, maintained at + 0.10 degree of the 142° W.L.,
subject to the condition that this waiver and the operations it permits shall terminate in the event that a
satellite is launched into a location such that its stationkeeping volume would overlap the Inmarsat 2F1
satellite‘s + 0.10 degree stationkeeping volume, but would not overlap the Inmarsat 2F1 satellite‘s + 0.05°
degree stationkeeping volume, unless Inmarsat has successfully coordinated its physical operations with
those of the other spacecraft.

        2+       Operations via the Inmarsat 2F1 satellite using a north—south inclination of as much as 10
degrees are granted, conditioned on operations of the 2F1 complying with the inclined orbit requirements
set forth in Sections 25.280(b)(1)—(3) of the Commission‘s rules.

        3.       Licensees must comply with the terms of any L—band operator—to—operator coordination
agreement. In the absence of a continuing L—band operator—to—operator coordination agreement,
operations of MET‘s in the 1525—1559 and 1626.5—1660.5 MHz bands will be on a non—harmful
interference basis until a future operator—to—operator agreement is concluded. In this instance, each
licensee must notify the other operators in these frequency bands that it will be operating on a non—
harmful interference basis. Each licensee must notify its customers that its operations are on a non—
harmful interference basis.

          4.      Inmarsat is afforded 30 days from the date of the release of this authorization to decline
it, as conditioned. Failure to respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance of the
authorization, as conditioned.

        S:       This grant is issued pursuant to the Commission‘s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R.
§ 0.261, and is effective immediately. Petitions for reconsideration under Section 1.106, 1.116, 47 C.F.R.
§§ 1.106, 1.116, may be filed within 30 days of the date of the public notice stating this action was taken.

43a. Geographic Service Rule Certification                                                                                    Gy A
By selecting A, the undersigned certifies that the applicant is not subject to the geographic service or geographic
coverage requirements specifiedin 47 C.F.R. Part 25.
                                                                                                                              3 B
By selecting B, the undersigned certifies that the applicant is subject to the geographic service or geographlc
coverage requirements specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 25 and will comply with such requirements.
                                                                                                                              & C
By selecting C, the undersigned certifies that the applicant is subject to the geographic service or geographic
coverage requirements specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 25 and will not comply with such requirements because it is not
feasible as a technical matter to do so, or that, while technically feasible, such services would require so many
compromises in satellite design and operation as to make it economically unreasonable. A narrative description
and technical analysis demonstrating this claim are attached.
