       Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (“MSV”) hereby files this Reply to the Joint

Response of Stratos Communications, Inc., BT Americas Inc., MVS USA, Inc., Vizada Satellite,

Inc., and Inmarsat Ventures Limited (collectively, “Inmarsat”) to MSV’s Comments filed

regarding the above-captioned requests for renewal of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to

operate Broadband Global Area Network (“BGAN”) terminals using an uncoordinated Inmarsat

satellite, Inmarsat 4F2 at 52.75”W. In its Comments, MSV urged the International Bureau

(“Bureau”) to protect the existing and reliable services MSV currently provides to its customers,

including public safety users, by (i) establishing a firm expiration date for these STAs and

providing that no further extensions will be granted without Inmarsat first having completed

coordination of its now nearly two-year-old satellite with the North American L-band operators;

(ii) limiting the use of BGAN terminals authorized under the STAs to “first responders”; and (iii)

adopting conditions consistent with what MSV has requested in a pending Petition for

Clarification.


       In its Response, Inmarsat incorporates by reference pleadings from previous proceedings.

MSV hereby incorporates by reference its pleadings as filed in those previous proceedings.'
