SkyWave Mobile Communications, Inc.
File No. SES—STA—20060307—00372
On March 13, 2006, the Satellite Division granted Mobile Satellte Ventures Subsidiary
LLC‘s request to designate SkyWave Mobile Communications, Inc.‘s (‘SkyWave") earth
station application that seeks special temporary authority to provide Mobile Satellite
Services in the L—band with Inmarsat‘s 4F2 satellit, to be located at 52.75° W.L., as
"permit—but—disclose" for purposes ofthe Commission‘s rules governing ex parte
communications, See Motion to Desinate Proceeding as "Permit—But—Disclose," filed
by Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC on March 9, 2006. We find that
designating this SkyWave application for special temporary authority as "permit—but—
disclose" will faeiltate resolution of the complex policy issues raised by the application.
Thus, we designate IBFS File No. SES—STA—20060307—00372 as "permit—but—disclose,"
effective March 13, 2006. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1200(@), 1.1206 and 1.1208 note 2. This
action is without prejudice to any determination regarding the processing ofthe
application.
