Exhibit C Description of Application Pursuant to Section 25.117(c) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.117(c), SkyTerra Subsidiary LLC (“SkyTerra”) hereby requests authority to modify its blanket mobile earth terminal (“MET”) license to reflect the pending change in orbital location of MSAT-2 (a.k.a. AMSC-1) and to add SkyTerra 1 as a point of communication.1 Pursuant to this license, SkyTerra is authorized to communicate with MSAT-2, which is located at 101.3°W.2 As stated in a recently filed application, SkyTerra seeks to relocate MSAT-2 to 103.3°W to make room at 101.3°W for the replacement satellite, SkyTerra 1.3 The METs authorized under this license will communicate with MSAT-2 throughout the drift from 101.3°W to 103.3°W and afterwards for an estimated eight months, until SkyTerra 1 has been fully tested and service is transitioned to the new satellite.4 Grant of the application will enable SkyTerra to provide continuity of service to customers, which would serve the public interest. 1 SkyTerra has provided in the Form 312 and accompanying exhibits only that information that is relevant to the requested modification of authorization or otherwise required by IBFS for electronic submission of the application. 2 The MET license in the IBFS database incorrectly references “AMC-1,” rather than “AMSC-1,” as a point of communication. 3 See File No. SAT-MOD-20100412-00075. To the extent necessary, SkyTerra incorporates by reference the technical information, submitted in that proceeding, relevant to the relocation of MSAT-2. 4 Legacy services provided to these METs via SkyTerra 1 are scheduled to sunset in 2012, and at that time customers that choose to remain on SkyTerra’s next-generation network will have to transition to new METs and next-generation services. 401966641v1
