    Dear Ms. Dortch:

           In the above-referenced application, TerreStar Networks Inc. ("TerreStar") has
    requested a blanket license to operate mobile earth terminals ("METs") that will
    communicate with the TerreStar-1 satellite. TerreStar-1 is licensed by Industrv CarLadaand
    will operate in the United States pursuant to a letter of intent authorization.

           The above-referenced application identifies I'erreStar-1's orbital location as 111.lo
    W.L. Pursuant to Section 1.65of the Commission's rules, TerreStar hereby reports that
    Industry Canada has issued the attached letter authorizing operation at 111.0" M'.L. instead
    of 111.1"W.L. TerreStar will be amending its MET application to reflect this change.

             Please direct any questions concerning this matter to the undersigned


i*1   Industry Canada    lndustrie Canada

                                                              Our file: 46215 (141291 RH)




        OCT 1 0 2007
      Mr. Steven Nichols
      Executive Vice-president, Operations
      TerreStar Networks (Canada) Inc.
      The Exchange Tower, Suite 1800
      130 Kings Street West
      Toronto, Ontario M5X lE3

      Dear Mr Nichols:

                 I refer to your letter of September 24,2007, in which TerreStar
      Networks (Canada) Inc (TerreStar Canada) seeks confirmation that its plan to
      operate its mobile satellite at the 1 1 1.O"W orbital position is in keeping with its
      April 27,2007 approval in principle.

                 TerreStar Canada's approval provides for operating the satellite at the
      111.l o w nominal position. Condition 3 of the approval states that Terrestar
      Canada must operate its satellite network in conformity with the ITU Radio
      Regulations. Further, Article 22 of the Radio Regulations requires the satellite to
      maintain its position within a certain tolerance (+/- 0.1 degrees) of the nominal
      position, but provides that the operation of the satellite need not comply with this
      requirement as long as the satellite does not cause unacceptable interference with
      another satellite that does comply with the tolerance. It is the Department's view,
      therefore, that TerreStar Canada's satellite operations at the 11 1 .O"W position
      (+/- 0.05 degrees) would be consistent with the April 27,2007 approval in
      principle.

                 If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Richard Hiebert
      at 61 3-998-4333.

                                                      Yours sincerely,




                                                      Chantal Beaumier
