Dear Mr. Fagan:
On April 16, 2007, Vizada Satellite, Inc. (Vizada)1 filed the above-captioned application 
through the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) seeking a license to operate 1,000 
Inmarsat C half-duplex mobile earth terminals (METs).  Vizada proposes to use the terminals to 
communicate with Inmarsat-3F2 (15.5o W.L.), Inmarsat-3F3 (178.1o E.L.), and Inmarsat-4F2 
(52.75o W.L.) satellites. Vizada amended the application on September 20, 2007.  In the 
amended application, Vizada seeks authority to operate land-based Inmarsat C terminals in the 
1525-1544 and 1626.5-1645.5 MHz bands and maritime Inmarsat C terminals in the 1525-1545 
and 1626.5-1646.5 MHz bands.  It also seeks authority to operate maritime Inmarsat C terminals 
in the 1544-1545 and 1645.5-1646.5 MHz bands for distress and safety communications.  
Pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(2) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(2), we 
dismiss, as improperly filed, the portion of the amended application that seeks authority for 
maritime terminals. Section 25.109(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.109(c), 
indicates that ship earth stations in the Part 80 Maritime Mobile Satellite Service are not licensed 
pursuant to Part 25.  Rather, mobile earth stations on ships operating in the 1626.5-1645.5 MHz 
frequency band are authorized pursuant to Section 80.51 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. 
§80.51.  See also 47 C.F.R. §80.377.  Applications for maritime terminals should be filed by 
eligible applicants (see 47 C.F.R. § 80.1185) through the Commission’s Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau’s Universal Licensing System (ULS)2 rather than through the 
International Bureau Filing System (IBFS).

C.F.R. §0.261, we dismiss the above-captioned application to the extent listed above.
