ORIGINAL RECEIVED Before the APR ~ 6 2006 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION conmunatonConmiasbo Washington, D.C. 20554 * inoeo aniay In the matter of TELENOR SATELLITE, INC. File No. SES—MFS—20060130—00172 (Cll Sign KA249) Application for Modification ofFixed Earth Station License to Operate with Inmarsat 3F4 an ta® wC OPPOSITION Telenor Satelite,Inc. ("Telenor®) hereby opposes the Petition to Hold in Abeyancefled in this proceeding by Mobile Satelite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (‘MSV*). Both Telenor and Inmarsat have responded many times to MSV*s numerous requests thatthe Burcau defer action on Telenor applications pending completion ofthe intemational coordination process. We have nothing new to add on that score and will not burden the record by reiterating our previous comments. We do wish to clarify, however, thatall we are secking in this application (asin all previous Telenor applications filed over the last several months) is the abilty to provide L—band services on a non—harmfulinterference basis in the absence of a new operating agreement that govems shared usage of the L—band. We are certainly not secking authority to operate on any frequency currently utiized by MSV. MSV‘s implication to the contrary is not based on anything in Telenor‘s current application, but rather on Telenor‘s existing lieense, which permits operation in the 1545.8—1548 MH band. Those frequencies are no longer needed for the FAA/WAAS program. Accordingly,the coordination requested by MSV is not required, and the

use of the 1545.8—1548 MHz band for FAA/WAAS purposes has no bearing on Telenor‘s current application. We understand, however, that portions ofthe 1545.8—1548 MHz band are being used by MSV, and that different portions are being used by Inmarsat. Thus, Telenor should have the ability to use any portions ofthe 1545.8—1548 MH band segment currently being utilized by Inmarsat to serve the United States.
