Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the matter of n n n n n n ns Amtech Systems LLC BT Americas Inc. iPass, Inc. MVS USA, Inc. See Attachment A for List of File Numbers Stratos Communications, Inc. SkyWave Mobile Satellite Communications, Inc. Thrane & Thrane Airtime Ltd. Vizada Satellite, Inc. VIZADA Services, LLC MOTION TO DESIGNATE PROCEEDINGS AS "PERMIT—BUT—DISCLOSE" Inmarsat Ventures Limited ("Inmarsat") requests that the Commission designate the proceedings listed on Attachment A as "permit—but—disclose" under the Commission‘s rules governing ex parte communications.‘ Each of these proceedings involves earth station applications to offer Inmarsat services in the United States. The ex parte rules provide that "[wJhere the public interest so requires in a particular proceeding, the Commission and its staff retain the discretion to modify the applicable ex parte rules by order, letter or public notice."* A change in the status to permit—but—disclose in these proceedings clearly is warranted in light of the issues raised, and in order to harmonize the status of these proceedings with that of numerous pending proceedings that also involve applications to provide Inmarsat services, and which the Commission already has designated permit—but—disclose. 1 ) 47 CFR. § 1.1200 et seq. Call Sign Grant PDate,_! 55'505 &7 2 47 CFR. § 1.1200(a). (or other identificr)

Virtually all pending applications seeking authority to provide Inmarsat services have been opposed by Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC. The Commission routinely has granted permit—but—disclose status in considering similar applications to provide Inmarsat services, finding the change in ex parte status, "will facilitate resolution of the complex policy issues raised in the application."" As in the other currently pending proceedings to provide Inmarsat services, permit—but—disclose status in the proceedings referenced in Attachment A would serve the public interest by facilitating discussion with Commission staff to address the issues raised in these proceedings. For the foregoing reasons, Inmarsat respectfully requests that the Commission designate the ex parte status of this proceeding as "permit—but—disclose." Respectfully submitted, Diane J. Comell Jifi P.i Janka Vice President, Government Affairs Jeffrey A. Marks INMARSAT, Inc. LATHAM & WaATKINS LLP 1101 Connecticut Avenue, NW 555 Eleventh Street, N. W.
