served by prohibiting the indirect foreign ownership of Horizon in excess of the 25 percent benchmark set forth in section 310(b)(4)
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act").  This request is filed in connection with an application for a blanket
license to operate 20,000 mobile earth terminals to be used in the United States to access the Inmarsat 4F2 satellite to provide
Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) services.  See File No. SES-LFS-20070109-00042.
Horizon, a Delaware corporation, is wholly owned by SatCom Distribution, Inc. (SatCom Inc.), also a Delaware corporation.  SatCom
Inc., in turn, is wholly owned by SatCom Distribution, Ltd. (SatCom Ltd.), a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom.
SatCom Ltd., in turn, is wholly owned by SatCom Group Holdings Plc (SatCom Holdings), a public company organized under the laws of
the United Kingdom.  Petitioner identifies four shareholders as holding more than 10% of the shares of SatCom Holdings:  Adam C.
Thompson, Alexandra M. Johnson, and Martin C. Ward, each of whom holds 19.04%, and Mark B. White, who holds 19.43%.  Mr.
Thompson is a U.S. citizen; Ms. Johnson, Mr. Ward, and Mr. White all are British citizens.  Petitioner represents that Horizon's
ultimate parent company, SatCom Holdings, has its principal place of business in the United Kingdom, a World Trade Organization

23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), the public interest would not be served by prohibiting the indirect
