& UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Telecommunications and g)% %f Information Administration Srires of Washington, D.C. 20230 December 11, 2003 Thomas Tycz Chief, Satellite Division International Bureau Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20544 Dear Mr. Tycz: Re: Application of SkyWave Mobile Communications, Blanket Authority to Operate METs, SES—LIC—20030311—00353 NTIA is very appreciate of the cooperation SkyWave has shown in working to meet the priority and preemption requirements for the mobile—satellite service at 1.5/1.6 GHz. We have reviewed SkyWave‘s proposal to modify their D+ type MET‘s and to undertake software changes at the Inmarsat LES as described in its letter to the Commission of November 21, 2003. The actions set forth in their letter appear to be sufficient to meet the priority and preemption requirements for the lower part of the 1.5/1.6 GHz MSS bands i.e. sharing with GMDSS services. NTIA does not object to the grant of this SkyWave application for a blanket license, so long as the commitments made by SkyWave in its November 21 letter are conditions on their license. We appreciate your cooperation on the application. Sincerely, 1/‘ hief, International Spectrum Plans and Policy Division CC Sylvia Lam Cassandra Thomas
