                 Re: IBFS File Nos. SES-ASG-20050829-01187 and SES-MOD-20050901-O1211 (Call
                 Sign E90008 1).

       Dear Mr. Jacobs and Ms. Milne:

                We currently have pending an application to change the regulatory status of an earth
       station license (Call Sign E90008 1) held by Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (“MSV”)
       from common carrier to non-common carrier. Pursuant to this license, MSV is authorized to
       operate a number of half-duplex mobile earth terminals (“METs”) in the lower L-band via the
       AMSC-1 and MSAT-1 satellites on a common carrier basis. As you know, the Commission
       recently granted consent to transfer control of the earth station license from MSV to Geologic
       Solutions, Inc. (“Geologic”). To assist our processing of the request to change the regulatory
       status, please provide a description of the services currently provided by MSV under the license
       and the services Geologic intends to provide under the license.’ In that context, please describe
       whether Geologic will be providing commercial mobile radio services directly to end users. We
       also note that your application indicates that the number of METs authorized by the earth station
       license is 50,100. Please provide information supporting the 50,100 figure cited in the
       application.

              Please provide the requested information by December 14,2005 in the form of an
       amendment to the application. Failure to file a response by December 14,2005 will result in the
       dismissal of the application pursuant to Section 25.1 12(c) of the Commission’s rules.

                                                                       Siperely,


                                                                       Cassandra C. Thomas
                                                                       Acting Chief
                                                                       Satellite Division




        ’We note that in the modification application, MSV indicates that it will continue to operate the earth
       station on a common carrier basis until the assignment is consummated.
