Satellite Earth Station Application:

DIGITAL BROADBAND APPLICATIONS CORP.

File No. SES-LIC-20020109-00023
Call Sign E020010

Digital Broadband Applications Corp. seeks authority to operate an advanced hybrid satellite network to provide
high-speed two-way digital data and video services to consumers in the United States. DBAC proposes to use a system
architecture that combines U.S.-licensed Ku-band FSS satellite resources for "upstream" communications from
consumers and Canadian-licensed DBS satellites located at 91° W.L. and 82° W.L. for "downstream" communications.
All services would be distributed within the United States.

Ex parte Status of this Application Proceeding:

In its application, DBAC requests that to the extent it becomes necessary, the Commission treat consideration of its
application as a "permit but disclose" proceeding for purposes of our ex parte rules.

In order to assist the Commission in developing a complete record on which a well-reasoned decision can be made, we
designate the application as "permit but disclose." We conclude that such treatment would best serve the public
interest, in light of the intricate legal and technical issues raised by the application. Accordingly, effective today, ex parte
presentations in this proceeding are subject to the disclosure requirements set forth in Section 1.1206 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §1.1206.
