Re: Telenor ASA, Transferor, and Inceptum 1 AS, Transferee, Consolidated Application for
    Consent to Transfer of Control and Petitionfor Declaratory Ruling,
    IB Dkt No. 06—225, FCC File Nos. ISP—PDR—20061129—00017, er al.
    Request for Extension of Time to Consummate Transaction

Dear Ms. Dortch:

                Inceptum 1 AS ("Inceptum"), by its attorneys and pursuant to Section 25.119(f) of
the Commission‘s Rules, hereby requests a sixty—day extension of time to consummate the
transfer of control authorized in the above—referenced proceeding.‘ In the Inceptum Ruling, the
Commission granted applications for consent to the transfer of control to Inceptum of Telenor
Satellite Services AS and its subsidiaries that hold Commission licenses and authorizations,
finding that the parties had satisfied their burden of demonstrating that the proposed transaction
was in the public interest. Id. at 1—2. No party has challenged that determination.

               Inceptum requests additional time to consummate the transaction pending
completion of the European Commission‘s review of the merger. Grant of the requested
extension will facilitate consummation of an acquisition that the Commission has already
determined to be consistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity, and will permit
prompt closing of the transaction once clearance from the European Commission has been
received.




I     Authorizations Granted, Telenor ASA, Transferor, and Inceptum 1 AS, Transferee, Seek
FCC Consent to Transfer Control ofLicenses and Authorizations and a Declaratory Ruling on
Foreign Ownership, IB Docket No. 06—225, DA 07—2163 (IB, WTB & OET, rel. May 23, 2007)
("Inceptum Ruling"). To the extent necessary, Inceptum asks that this request be accepted nunc
pro tunc as if filed on July 23, 2007.
