In this Order we grant the application filed by Motient Services, Inc. (Motient) and TMI Communications and Company, LP (TMI) to modify their authorizations for mobile earth terminals and certain fixed earth stations to permit those facilites to operate with either the U.S. licensed AMSC-1 satellite, or the Canadian licensed MSAT-1 satellite. This request is a part of a larger transaction in which Motient and TMI are combining certain of their operations.1 We recently approved the assignment of the mobile earth terminals and fixed earth stations addressed by this Order and Authorization to Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary, LLC (MSV Sub), an entity created to hold certain combined assets of Motient and TMI.2 Grant of these applications will serve the public interest because it will enable Motient and TMI to use their combined resources to develop widespread, competitive, and affordable communication services for U.S. consumers. 1 See Public Notice, International Bureau Sets Deadlines Concerning Motient/TMI Assignment and Transfer of Control Applications, and Motient’s Request for Second Generation Satellite/Terrestrial Base Station System; Deadline Extended for TMI’s Application to Assign Earth Stations, Report No. SAT- 00066 (rel.

Federal Communications Commission DA 01-2745 2. The applications addressed by this Order and Authorization also request authority for mobile terminals to communicate with a proposed “second-generation” system. Because that system has not yet been authorized, we are dismissing that request without prejudice to its refiling in the event the satellites involved are authorized. MSV Sub’s application for a second generation system will be addressed separately. 3. The modifications granted by this Order and Authorization are limited solely to the authorized points of communication for the captioned stations. All other technical parameters and terms and conditions specified in connection with these authorizations remain unchanged. 4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, under authority delegated pursuant to Section 0.261 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 0.261, that Application File Numbers SES- MOD-20010302-00505, SES-MOD-20010302-00508, SES-MOD-20010116-00097, and SES-MOD-20010116-00098, ARE GRANTED to the extent indicated herein, and ARE OTHERWISE DISMISSED, and the authorizations (Call Signs Signs E930124, E940374, E930367, E990133, E980179, and E900081 (including associated special temporary authorizations) ARE MODIFIED to specify both AMSC-1 and MSAT-1 as points of communications, subject to consummation of the transaction approved in the Order and Authorization, DA 01-2732 (released November 21, 2001), in accordance with Section 25.119(f) of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.119(f). 5.
