                                        Exhibit 1


AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") is planning to offer a new Experimental Mobile Service using C—
band frequencies via INTELSAT Satellites in the Atlantic Ocean Region (AOR) to and
from ships at sea for Voice, Fax, Data and Video Transmission.

The elements of the proposed experimentation will include:

       (1) 2.0 meter C—band U.S. registered ship antennas authorized under CFR
           47 part 5

       (2) Onshore Earth Station owned by AT&T in Roaring Creek, Pennsylvania

       (3) Space Segment to be leased by AT&T from Comsat World Systems

       (4) Terrestrial Connection to the public switched telephone network

       (5) Satellites INTELSAT V, VI, and VII series in the AOR and POR

The objectives of the experimentation will be to:

       (1) Determine the ability of enhanced gyroscope stabilizing mechanisms used
            to stabilize 2.0 meter C—band Antennas for use on seagoing vessels that
            can qualify for certification under INTELSAT standards

       (2) Determine if there is C—band interference

       (3) To analyze AT&T‘s role in providing two—way space segment

       (4) Access service quality using C—band frequencies in a maritime environment

       (5) Evaluate calling patterns to obtain valid information

AT&T‘s program of experimentation will foster the development of a new service and
contribute valuable information on the use of Fixed Space Satellite (FSS) frequencies in
the maritime environment used in conjunction with Shipboard Earth Stations.

          With respect to potential co—channel interference to or from
          terrestrial microwave radio stations, the transmit and receive
          frequency bands listed in this license have been cleared for
          transmissions to and from satellites located in the

                                    This authorization is not to be construed as permitting the
                                    provision      of   any    service   between earth station            locations

Attn: Experimental Radio Service

Re: Application for experimental authority pursuant to Section 5 of the Commission‘s
    Rules. (Salt Creek, California)


Dear Mr. Caton:

AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") in accordance with CFR 47, Sections 5.51, 5.52, 5.54, and 5.55 of the
Commission‘s Rules requests experimental authority to transmit data, voice, fax, and video
transmission using the INTELSAT Satellites in the Pacific Ocean Region (POR) to and from
seagoing vessels using C—band earth stations.

The Public Interest will be served by fostering the development of new maritime services using
C—band earth station technology aboard ships.

The experiment will entail the use of a land based earth station at Salt Creek, CA (Call Sign KA—
373) in conjunction with leased space segments in the POR provided by COMSAT World
Systems initially using two vessels, one a cruise ship and the other a naval vessel.

A petition for rule—making to amend CFR 47, Part 80 of the Commission‘s Rules to permit the
use of C—band frequencies by shipbound earth stations is pending before the Commission.

AT&T intends to charge for the use of the INTELSAT space segment in connection with this
proposed experimental authorization and will file a tariff with the Commission.




      [AY,
      %9 Recycled Paper


p                Coordinati

Frequency Coordination is not required pursuant to Part 25 of the Rules. AT&T and its
customers understand that all experimentation must be conducted on a non—interference basis,
and in the unlikely event that harmful interference occurs, transmissions will cease immediately.


Envi                   1 Considerati

A grant of this application will not have a environmental impact within Section 1.1307 of the
FCC rules.


Legal. Financial            and Technical Qualificati

AT&T‘s legal, financial and technical qualifications to be a satellite earth station licensee have
previously been documented in AT&T‘s march 1973 amended application for a domestic
communications satellite system, which was granted by the Commission in AT&T, 42 F.C.C. 2d
645 (1973). FCC Form 430, Licensee Qualifications Report, was filed with the Commission on
March 31, 1995.
FAA       Notificati

FAA notification is not required pursuant to part 17 of the Rules.


Waiver.      Section     304

As required by Section 304 of the Communications Act, AT&T waives any claim to the use of
any particular frequency or of the electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of
the United States because of the previous use of the same, whether by license or otherwise.


Please address any questions concerning this application to:

                       AT&T Corp.
