                                 Request for Renewal of Special Temporary Authority

   Dear Sir or Madam:

           Maritime TelecommunicationsNetwork, Inc. (“MTN’), by its attorneys and pursuant to
   Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules and Mobile Satellite-Based Communications Services
   by Crescomm Transmission Services, Znc. and Qualcomm Incorporated, Order, 11 FCC Rcd
   10944 (Il3 and OET 1996), hereby submits an original and two copies of its Request for Renewal
   of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to operate Ku-band satellite earth stations aboard
   vessels (“ESVs”).

          On July 18,2001, the Commission granted STA authority to MTN to operate from July
   20,2001 to September 20,2001. The Commission has subsequently extended the STA on seven
   occasions, most recently for a term ending on June 17, 2004. By this letter application, MTN
   respectfully requests extension of its STA for an additional 180 days commencing on June 18,
   2004 and ending on December 14,2004.

               MTN specifically requests authority for the following:

                 Operation of up to ten ESVs using stabilized 1.2 meter antennas on U.S.-flagged ships;
               and
                 Operation in the 12/14 GHz band with conforming antennas on a non-interference basis
               for all operations at any location on water, including when stationary at piers.

           MTN’s application for permanent authority for use of the 12/14 GHz band is currently
   pending. See FCC File No. SES-LIC-20011130-02259;Call Sign E010332. Grant of the instant
   request will serve the public interest by permitting MTN to continue to make available its service
   while the Commission processes the application for permanent authority. MTN remains
