SECTION 3507. 4

Attachment A Description of Application Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (“MSV”) hereby requests, for up to an additional sixty days, extension of its Special Temporary Authority (“STA”), File No. SAT-STA-2008022 1-00050, to operate MSAT-2 (a.k.a. AMSC- 1) at the 101.3”W orbital location, pending International Bureau (“Bureau”) action on the application to operate MSAT-2 at that location on a permanent basis. See File No. SAT-MOD-20080303- 00055. The Bureau granted MSV’s original STA application on February 28, 2008 (as well as the associated STAs of another operator at the nominal 101“W location) but is still processing MSV’s underlying application for permanent authority. MSV’s STA to operate at 101.3”W expires on April 28, 2008, and accordingly, MSV seeks extension of that authority. As explained in MSV’s original STA application, which is incorporated herein by reference, operating MSAT-2 at 101.3”W greatly assists another satellite operator in maintaining continuity of service to its customers, enhances orbital management, and does not cause harmful interference to any other satellite operator. For these reasons, the public interest would be served by extending the authority of MSAT-2 to operate at 101.3”W, for up to an additional sixty days, pending the Bureau’s action on MSV’s underlying modification application to operate at that location on a permanent basis.

Section 304 Waiver In accordance with Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 304, MSV hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or of the electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the previous use of the same, whether by license or otherwise.
