(“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 On December 22, 2009, in response to a request from TNI, the Commission extended its consent through January 28, 2010. By this letter, TNI hereby requests a further extension of time to consummate the pro forma transfer of control, through and including February 15, 2010. As stated in prior filings, 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 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 (as extended by SES-STA-20091102-01408).

Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary Page 2 met, that offer was terminated and a revised preferred stock exchange offer was made, with shareholders given additional time in which to respond. The revised offer was extended in order to attempt to meet certain conditions to the offer. The extension requested herein is to cover that additional time and to provide time to consummate the transaction. It is respectfully submitted that the same public interest considerations that led to the original grant of the application should apply to the brief extension of time herein requested for consummation of the pro forma transfer of control. Respectfully submitted, Joseph A. Godles Attorney for TerreStar Networks, Inc. cc: Karl Kensinger (by email) Jeanette Spriggs (by email) Frank Peace (by email) Kathyrn Medley (by email)
