Application for Experimental License ELS File # 0620-EX-PL-2012 Intelsat License LLC RESPONSE TO QUESTION 14: STATEMENT REGARDING REVOKED FCC LICENSES Intelsat License LLC has never had an FCC license “revoked.” However, on June 26, 2000, the International Bureau “cancelled” two Ka-band satellite authorizations issued to PanAmSat Licensee Corp. (“PanAmSat”), a former sister company of Intelsat, based on the Bureau’s finding that PanAmSat had not satisfied applicable construction milestones. See PanAmSat Licensee Corp., Memorandum Opinion and Order, DA 00-1266, 15 FCC Rcd 18720 (2000). In that same order, the Bureau denied related applications to modify the cancelled authorizations. PanAmSat filed an application for review of the Bureau’s decision, which the Commission denied, and subsequently filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which was dismissed in January 2003 at PanAmSat’s request. Notwithstanding the fact that the Bureau’s action does not seem to be the kind of revocation action contemplated by Question 14, Intelsat is herein making note of the decision in the interest of absolute candor and out of an abundance of caution. In any event, the Bureau’s action with respect to PanAmSat does not reflect on Intelsat’s basic qualifications, which are well-established and a matter of public record.
