     Clarification;(i) establish a firm expiration date for the BGAN STAs; (ii) require BGAN STA
    holders to disclose the number of BGAN terminals in use; and (iv) limit BGAN terminal use to
    only a subset ofemergency responders.
                      FTMSC and Inmarsat have fully responded to each of MSV‘s requests in prior
    pleadings, and incorporate those prior pleadings by reference.‘. For the reasons discussed therein,
