Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission Office of the Secretary 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for Extension of Time to Consummate; File No. SES-T/C-20090925-01237 Dear Madame Secretary: TerreStar Networks Inc. (“TNI”) is the licensee of a gateway earth station located in North Las Vegas, Nevada (Call Sign E070098). On September 30, 2009, the Commission granted its consent to the pro forma transfer of control of TNI’s gateway earth station license.1 By this letter, TNI hereby requests an extension of time to consummate the pro forma transfer of control from November 29, 2009, through and including December 31, 2009. This request is necessitated by the fact that the consented transfer of control was premised on a preferred stock exchange offer made by TNI’s parent TerreStar Corporation. Because certain conditions precedent to the original preferred stock exchange offer were not met that offer was terminated and a revised preferred stock exchange offer has been made, with shareholders given additional time (currently at least through December 15, 2009) in which to respond. The changes to the exchange offer do not affect any of the particulars in organization or control of the licensee, as previously presented to, and approved by, the Commission. Accordingly, it is respectfully submitted that the same public interest considerations that led to the original grant of 1 TNI noted in its application that it also holds grants of Special Temporary Authority for its gateway earth station. See File Nos. SES-STA-20090625-00794 (subsequently expired) and SES-STA-20090728-00927 (renewed by SES-STA-20091102-01408; renewal pending). 1

Douglas Brandon General Counsel & Secretary the application should apply to the brief extension of time herein requested for consummation of the pro forma transfer of control. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Douglas I. Brandon Douglas I.
