                        Joint Motion to Withdraw Responsive Pleadings
                        File Numbers Listed on Exhibit A

Dear Ms. Dortch:

               Amtech Systems LLC, BT Americas Inc., Deere & Company, Horizon Mobile
Communications, Inc., iPass, Inc., MVS USA, Inc.,] Satamatics, Inc., SkyWave Mobile
Communications Corp., SkyWave Mobile Communications, Inc., Stratos Communications, Inc.,
Vizada Satellite, Inc. ({/k/a Telenor Satellite, Inc.), VIZADA Services, LLC (/k/a FTMSC US
LLC), and Thrane and Thrane Airtime, Ltd. (collectively, the "Applicants"), and Inmarsat
Ventures Limited ("Inmarsat"), submit this letter in connection with the application proceedings
and FCC authorizations referenced in Exhibit A (the "Proceedings").

               Pursuant to a long—term coordination agreement entered into by and among
Mobile Satellite Ventures LP, Mobile Satellite Ventures (Canada) Inc. (together, "MSV") and
Inmarsat Global Limited, MSV is submitting a letter withdrawing all filings it submitted in the
Proceedings, subject to that coordination agreement being accepted by the relevant
Administrations (United States, Canada and the United Kingdom). In light of, and subject to,
MSV‘s withdrawal, the Applicants and Inmarsat withdraw all of their respective pleadings in the
Proceedings that respond to MSV‘s pleadings. The Applicants preserve on the record of the
Proceedings all of their pending applications and amendments thereto.

               Please contact the undersigned with any questions regarding this matter.




   MVS Fed, LLC recently amended the applications initially filed by its affiliate, MVS USA,
   Inc., to designate itself as applicant seeking authorization to provide Inmarsat services, and
   now holds Special Temporary Authority in this regard. However, MVS USA, Inc. filed the
   responsive pleadings relevant to this letter.
