("T&T Airtime") hereby submits its Reply to the Comments of Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC ("MSV") in the above—captioned matter (the "Comments").

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, 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 1 See, eg., Joint Opposition, File Nos.
