                                                                            FCC Form 312
                    Application for Pro Forma 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 transfer of control of
earth station licensee ISAT US Inc. (“ISAT” or “Licensee”). The proposed transaction would
streamline the U.S. organizational structure of Licensee’s ultimate parent, Inmarsat plc (a UK
public limited company).

       As also described in Exhibit E, ISAT is the holder of a blanket earth station license
designated as common carrier and currently has more than 25 percent indirect foreign ownership.
Because ISAT will have new foreign intermediate parent corporations upon consummation of the
proposed pro forma transfer of control, Licensee has filed a new Petition for Declaratory Ruling
under IBFS File No. ISP-PDR-20150401-00001.

         While the list of call signs referenced in this application includes all current licenses held
by ISAT, Licensee 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 Licensee 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

        Commission consent to the proposed transfer is in the public interest. Specifically, FCC
grant of the application will serve the public interest by allowing the Licensee’s parent to
streamline its U.S. organizational structure without any substantial change in ownership.
