                    Request for Extension of Special Temporary Authority

      On September 11, 2014, O3b Limited (“O3b”) submitted a request for special
temporary authority (“STA”) 1 to operate an earth station to be located at the Naval
Aviation (NAVAIR) Special Communications Requirements (SCR) Division in St.
Inigoes, Maryland (“St. Inigoes Earth Station”) that will communicate with the satellite
system operated by O3b. The AT&T Earth Station sought a 30-day STA for the period
between November 24, 2014 and December 24, 2014.

       Pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission’s rules, 2 O3b hereby requests a
further extension of its STA covering the 180-day period between December 25, 2014,
and May 24, 2015.

       O3b’s extension request is supported by good cause. An extension will enable
O3b to continue demonstration of the advantages of its system’s high throughput and
low latency for providing a variety of valuable communications services, including
voice, data transfers and video conferencing using connected devices. The public
interest will be served by allowing O3b to show how its system can effectively deliver
high bandwidth network connectivity to Department of Defense facilities and
employees.

       Accordingly, and for good cause shown, O3b respectfully requests that its STA
extension request be granted.
