WILMERHALE Ms. Mindel De La Torre December 12, 2010 Page 2 because its current STAs for these earth stations expire between December 18 and December 28, 2010, and Globalstar requires the continued ability to communicate with its satellites from these earth stations for control purposes. Accordingly, Globalstar requests that the STA extensions be granted for a period of 60 days, from the date the current STAs for these earth stations expire. As explained in connection with its previously granted STA applications, Globalstar has embarked on a transition to its second—generation satellite constellation. This transition involves the launch of 24 new satellites, with the first batch of six satellites launched on October 19, 2010. Globalstar‘s second—generation constellation will consist of its newly launched satellites, as well as cight additional first—generation satellites launched in 2007. As such, Globalstar requires the ability to communicate with all of those satellites from its Commission—licensed U.S. earth stations. Globalstar understands that the Commission has now received all necessary information about the Application and that the Commission is in the final stages of processing it. In the event that the Commission does not grant Globalstar‘s Application before its STA for the antennas at issue expire, Globalstar requests that Commission extend the authorizations granted under its previous requests for STA for an additional 60 days. The public interest justifications for granting this authority remain substantially the same as those provided in the previous requests. In short, the public interest will be served by the grant of these STA requests because they will ensure effective control center communications with launched satellites, and these operations are necessary to ensure the provision of high quality service to U.S. customers. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Samir Jain Samir Jain Counsel to GUSA Licensee LLC Encl.
