                   MOTION TO WITHDRAW APPLICATION FOR REVIEW

       Prirnosphere Limited Partnership (“Primosphere”), by its attorneys, hereby moves to

withdraw its Application for Review of the International Bureau’s dismissal of Primosphere’s

above-referenced application for authority to construct, launch and operate two satellites in the

Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service.

       On December 21, 2001, Primosphere filed an Application for Review stating that the

International Bureau’s decision to dismiss its application was predicated solely on the

Commission’s affirmation of the Bureau’s grants of SDARS licenses to XM Radio, Inc. and

Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc (the “License Orders”). Primosphere further stated that it had filed

with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (“Court of Appeals”)

Petitions/Notices of Appeal seelung review of the Commission’s orders affirming the License

Orders. Primosphere also filed a Reply on February 7,2002.

       On February 21, 2003, the Court of Appeals denied Primosphere’s appeals and affirmed

the Commission’s decisions. Accordingly, Primosphere now voluntarily and unilaterally

withdraws its Application for Review and associated Reply.


                Respectfully submitted,
