                                Application for Transfer of Control of Earth Station Licensee
                                                                               Question A.21



                                           EXHIBIT F

                                    Public Interest Statement

         As described in Exhibit E, this application proposes the pro forma assignment of the non-
common carrier satellite earth station licenses held by Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc. to
streamline the U.S. organizational structure of Inmarsat plc. No change in the actual operations
of the licenses will occur. Moreover, because the earth station licenses at issue are classified as
non-common carrier, no foreign ownership restrictions apply to the proposed pro forma
assignment of the licenses.

       Commission consent to the proposed assignment is in the public interest. Specifically,
FCC grant of the application will serve the public interest by allowing the new licensee to
continue to operate the earth station facilities upon consummation of the transaction and by
allowing the applicants’ parent to streamline its U.S. organizational structure.

         While the list of call signs referenced in this application includes all current licenses,
Licensee Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc. also has a pending application for a new license
(E120072); and it may hereafter file additional requests for authorizations for new or modified
facilities or for special temporary authority. Accordingly, the Applicants request that any
Commission approval of this application include authority for the Transferee to acquire control
of: (1) any authorization issued to Inmarsat Mobile Networks, Inc. during the pendency of this
transfer of control application and the period required for consummation of this transaction; and
(2) any applications that are pending at the time of consummation. Such action would be
consistent with prior Commission decisions.1
