SAT-AMD-19990511-00052 S2376 COLUMBIA COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION Amendment Columbia Communications Corporation has filed an amendment to a pending application to construct, launch and operate a Ku-band satellite at 49 degrees W.L. The application was filed on March 31, 1987 and has not appeared on Public Notice, due to a freeze on the acceptance of applications to provide C- and Ku-band satellite service in the 30 degrees W.L. to 60 degrees W.L. orbital arc. [See Processing of Pending Applicatinons for Space Stations to Provide International Communications Service, FCC 85-296 (released June 6, 1985).] By this amendment, Columbia proposes to amend its 1987 application for a Ku-band satellite at 49 degrees W.L. in the following respects: (1) to locate the satellite at 47 degrees W.L., and (2) to amend the technical characteristics of the Ku-band capacity. In addition, Columbia requests a waiver of the freeze on Atlantic Ocean Region satellite applications to the extent required to process the pending application as amended. Please note: Columbia filed a consolidated application containing this amendment and a modification application for its 47 degree W.L. authorization. See File No. SAT-MOD-19990511-00051, listed below.
