                          Dear Ms. Dortch:

                          Iridium Constellation LLC, Iridium Satellite LLC, and Iridium Carrier Services
                          LLC (collectively, the "Iridium Licensees"), by counsel, respectfully request an
                          additional 30 days—until January 10, 2011—to consummate the pro forma
                          transaction that the Commission approved in the above—referenced proceedings.

                          On October 1, 2010, the Iridium Licensees sought authority for the pro forma
                          transfer of control of all of the space and earth station authorizations held by the
                          Iridium Licensees. Specifically, Iridium sought approval for a minor corporate
                          reorganization pursuant to which Baralonco, N.V., a Netherlands Antilles entity,
                          will be domesticated into a Delaware entity. On October 12, 2010, the International
                          Bureau authorized this pro forma transfer of control.‘ Pursuant to Section 25.119 of
                          the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.119, the deadline for consummating these
                          pro forma transactions is 60 days after authorization—December 11, 2010.

                          The Iridium Licensees have not yet consummated this pro forma transfer of control.
                          In order to enhance the corporate efficiencies of this pro forma change, the Iridium
                          Licensees seek an extension of 30 days—until January 10, 2011—to consummate
                          the pro forma transfer. Grant of this extension would serve the public interest by
                          allowing additional time to complete the proposed corporate restructuring.
