        By its attomey, and pursuant to Section 1.45 ofthe Commission‘srules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.45,
Thrane & Thrane Airtime Ltd. ("T&T Airtime") hereby submits its Reply to the Comments of
Mobile Satellte Ventures Subsidiary LLC (MSV*) in the above—captioned. matter (the

"Comments®). For the reasons set forth above, MSV‘s contentions have no merit and should be
rejected.
        In its Comments MSV does not oppose renewal of T&T Airtime‘s special temporary
authority (‘STA®) to provide Broadband Global Area Network (‘BGAN®) service over the
Inmarsat—4 spacecraft. Rather, MSV urges the International Bureau (the "Bureau") to modify the
conditions applicable to T&T Airtime‘s STA, to establish a firm expiration date for the STA of
November 30, 2006, and to provide that no further extensions will be granted.
        Other, similarly situated. parties, including Thrane & Thrane Airtime, have already
responded to the arguments which MSV reiterates in its instant Comments._ Accordingly, in the
interest of conserving the Commission‘s scarce resources, Thrane & Thrane Airtime hereby
incorporates those prior submissions by reference.‘ Thrane & Thrane Airtime simply wishes to
add that, since the grant of its initial STA, it has complied with all the standard conditions

attached thereto, and MSV has failed to demonstrate in any way that these conditions are
inadequate to address the potential for harmful interference which MSV has described.
       WHEREFORE, Thrane & Thrane Airtime respectfully urges the Commission to grant its
application for extension of special temporary authority without the conditions requested by
MSV.
