       Supplemental Information Regarding Ownership

 Dear Ms. Dortch:

         Vizada, Inc. ("Vizada") and VIZADA Services LLC ("VIZADA Services" and with
 Vizada, the "Parties"), by their attorneys and pursuant to Section 1.65 of the Commission‘s
 Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.65, hereby supplement the record in the above—referenced proceedings to
 provide additional information regarding ultimate ownership of Vizada and VIZADA
 Services.

        Ownership of MobSat Management: In their letter of August 10, 2009, the Parties
 provided updated information regarding the ownership of MobSat Management Sarl
 ("MobSat Management”).1 The letter advised that a transaction was planned to occur in
 September that would involve a new manager, Peter Augustsson, a citizen of Sweden,
 acquiring a 6.6% interest in MobSat Management. That transaction has now occurred.
 Accordingly, the ownership interests in MobSat Management held by individuals now total
 64.7%. Apax France VI now owns 25.4% of Mobsat Management and Altamir Amboise

 LLC, to Mariene H. Dortch, Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, File Nos. ISP—
 PDR—20080501—00011 et al., filed August 10, 2009 ("August 10 Letter") at 1—2.

SCA ("Altamir Amboise") owns 9.9%. The total interest of Apax France VI in Mobsat
Group Holding is now 54.3%, and the total interest of Altamir Amboise in Mobsat Group
Holding is 21.1%. The updated information regarding ownership of MobSat Management is
reflected in the chart attached hereto as Appendix A.

         Ownership of Altamir Amboise: The Parties also hereby update information relating
to ownership interests held by Apax Partners SA ("APSA") and related individuals and
entities in Altamir Amboise. These interests, which total 22.35%, are as follows: Apax
Partners SNC holds 19.26%; APSA holds 0.62%; and other individual French citizens who
are partners of APSA hold interests totaling 2.47%

        Vizada AS: In March 2008 Vizada and VIZADA Services advised the Commission
that a pro forma restructuring was planned that would reinsert Vizada AS into their
ownership chain, and Vizada sought appropriate consents with respect to its existing
licenses." Due to changed circumstances since that time, the Parties no longer plan to go
forward with that internal restructuring, and Vizada is in the process of withdrawing the
relevant applications for Commission consent that remained pending. Because re—insertion of
Vizada AS into the Parties‘ ownership chain is no longer contemplated, Vizada AS has been
removed from the attached ownership chart.
