FILED/ACcEPTEq Before the Federy) ;ZAY »1 8 2008 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION omg‘g’gfi"'nf;gggfeggmw Washington, D.C, 20554 In the Matter of mrin iz Request to Streamline Licensing of L—band SES—PDR—20080303—00367 User Terminals Using Inmarsat Satellite as Points of Communication REpLy OF INMARSAT Inmarsat submits these Reply Comments in response to the comments filed in this proceeding, all of which support Inmarsat‘s Petition for Declaratory Ruling ("Petition") proposing that the International Bureau (the "Bureau") make a ministerial change in the way that it specifies authorized points of communication in Inmarsat L—band user terminal licenses. As it stated in the Petition, Inmarsat‘s proposal will permit licensees to communicate with all Inmarsat spacecraft that have been approved for U.S. service in the L—band by designating "ISAT" as the point of communication. Designating "ISAT" as a point of communication in L— band user terminal licenses that authorize service with Inmarsat satellites will provide significant public interest benefits and is consistent with Commission policy. Streamlining the licensing process will minimize regulatory delay, conserve Commission resources, and speed service to the public. All commenters in this proceeding support the proposal and no entity opposes it For the foregoing reasons, and for the reasons stated in Inmarsat‘s Petition and the comments filed in this proceeding, Inmarsat respectfully requests that the Commission expeditiously create the "ISAT"list, including all Inmarsat spacecraft that are approved to provide L—band service to the United States. Inmarsat further urges the Commission to modify existing licenses to communicate with Inmarsat spacecraft to specify "ISAT" as the designated

point of communication and to allow applicants for future user terminals to specify "ISAT" as the designated point of communication, thereby obtaining authority to communicate with all Inmarsat spacecraft that are approved from time to time to serve the United States.
