Thrane & Thrane Airtime Ltd. Request for Special Temporary Authority FCC File No. SES-STA-20081202-01522 Call Sign E060179 Supplement - Attachment A Thrane & Thrane Airtime Ltd. ("T&T Airtime") hereby submits this supplement to its request for Special Temporary Authority ("STA") (See FCC File No. SES-STA-20081202-01522, filed December 2, 2008) to reflect the transitioning of the Inmarsat BGAN service from the 4F2 satellite to the 4F3 satellite. Background On May 22, 2006, T&T Airtime filed an application for a blanket license to operate 20,000 METs with Inmarsat's BGAN service (File No. SES-LFS-20060522-00852) using up to 5,000 mobile earth terminals ("METs") operating in the L-band in conjunction with the Inmarsat 4F2 satellite located at the 52.75º W.L. orbital location. On May 22, 2006, T&T Airtime also filed an STA application to allow T&T Airtime to provide Inmarsat's BGAN service (File No. SES-STA- 20060522-00857). The Commission granted this original STA application on June 30, 2006 and T&T Airtime has been operating pursuant to extensions of this STA since June 2006.1 As referenced above, T&T Airtime filed an additional STA request on December 2, 2008. This STA requested operations under a non-substantial, slightly revised ownership structure from that originally reported under STA File No. SES-STA-20060522-00857. Transition On January 7, 2009, Inmarsat’s BGAN service will be relocated from the 4F2 satellite currently located at 52.75º W.L. to the 4F3 satellite at 97.65º W.L. consistent with Inmarsat’s pending application for authority to communicate with the 4F3 from the Paumalu, Hawaii satellite access station (See FCC File No. SES-LIC-20080306-00242). Pursuant to this transition, in conjunction with STA File No. SES-STA-20081202-01522, T&T Airtime hereby requests authority to continue providing Inmarsat's BGAN service using up to 5,000 mobile earth terminals ("METs") operating in the L-band in conjunction with the Inmarsat 4F2 satellite located at the 52.75º W.L. orbital location through January 6, 2009. Beginning on January 7, 2009 and thereafter, T&T Airtime hereby requests authority to provide Inmarsat's BGAN service using up to 5,000 mobile earth terminals ("METs") operating in the L-band in conjunction with the Inmarsat 4F3 satellite located at the 97.65º W.L. orbital location. 1 See recent STA extensions under FCC File Nos. SES-STA-20080819-01073, SES-STA-20081017-01335.
