Q 1.45, Thrane & Thrane Airtime Ltd. ("T&T Airtime") hereby submits its Reply to the Comments of Mobile Satellite 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 ("BGANI') 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 & Thane 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 I See, e.g.,Joint Opposition, File Nos. SES-STA-20060310-00419 et af.,filed June 19,2006, and Joint Reply, File Nos.

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.
