Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)-(2) of Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the undersigned hereby file this Statement on behalf of each of the following entities:

(i)           Columbia Capital Equity Partners III (QP), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CCIII (QP)”), with respect to voting common stock beneficially owned by it,

(ii)           Columbia Capital Equity Partners III (Cayman), L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Cayman III”), with respect to voting common stock beneficially owned by it,

(iii)         Columbia Capital Equity Partners III (AI), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CCIII (AI)”), with respect to voting common stock beneficially owned by it,

(iv)          Columbia Capital Investors III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Investors III”), with respect to voting common stock beneficially owned by it,

(v)           Columbia Capital Employee Investors III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Employee Investors”), with respect to voting common stock beneficially owned by it,

(vi)          Columbia Capital Equity Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CCIII L.P.”), with respect to voting common stock beneficially owned by CCIII (QP), Cayman III, CCIII (AI), Investors III and Employee Investors, and

(vii)         Columbia Capital III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Capital LLC”), with respect to voting common stock beneficially owned by CCIII (QP), Cayman III, CCIII (AI), Investors III and Employee Investors, relating to the shares of voting common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Voting Common Stock”), of Sky Terra Communications, Inc. (the “Issuer”).

The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing, because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act.

 

On October 5, 2006, Reporting Persons filed a Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer, reporting an aggregate beneficial ownership in excess of 20% of the Issuer’s shares outstanding at such time, but otherwise meeting the passive investor requirements in Rule 13d-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Following an increase on December 15, 2006 in the Issuer’s shares of Voting Common Stock outstanding, the Reporting Persons aggregate beneficial ownership decreased below 20%. Based on the 33,819,318 shares of Voting Common Stock outstanding as of March 9, 2007, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2006, the Reporting Persons have an aggregate beneficial ownership of 16.4% and otherwise meet the passive investor requirement in Rule 13d-1(c), and are, therefore, filing this Schedule 13G. The Reporting Persons have not made any acquisitions or dispositions of Issuer's Voting Common Stock since their initial Schedule 13D filing. Reporting Persons certify that the aforementioned securities were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of, changing or influencing the control of Issuer of the securities, and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.
