INFORMATIVE
SAT-AMD-20060727-00083               S2697         New ICO Satellite Services G.P.

On January 19, 2007, New ICO Satellite Services, G.P. (ICO) filed a letter surrendering the modification of its reservation of
spectrum to add a geostationary satellite to its 2 GHz mobile satellite system at the 114.75° W.L. orbital location. See letter to
Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, FCC, from Suzanne Hutchings Malloy (January 19, 2007). ICO was authorized to operate Ka-band
feeder links at this location using the 29.25-30.0 GHz (space-to-Earth), and 18.55-18.8, 19.7-20.2 GHz (Earth-to-space)
frequencies. Accordingly, these Ka-band frequencies at the 114.75° W.L. orbit location are available for reassignment effective
11:00 AM EDT on the day this public notice is released.



SAT-LOA-19990108-00007               S2366         Virtual Geosatellite LLC

On February 5, 2007, Virtual Geosatellite, LLC surrendered its license to construct a non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO)
fixed satellite service (FSS) system in the Ku-band. See Letter from Raul R. Rodriguez and Stephen D. Baruch, Attorneys for
Virtual Geosatellite, LLC to Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary, Federal Communications Commission (dated February 5, 2007).
Under the avoidance of in-line interference events sharing protocol for the Ku-band NGSO FSS, a number of licensees could
potentially share the available spectrum. Accordingly, the NGSO FSS Ku-band spectrum has been, and remains, open to
applications that will be processed under the Commission's first-come, first-served processes. See Establishment of Policies and
Service Rules for the Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit, Fixed Satellite Service in the Ku-Band, Report and Order, 17 FCC Rcd
7841, 7844 8 (2002); Establishment of Policies and Service Rules for the Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit, Fixed Satellite
Service in the Ku-Band, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 16 FCC Rcd 9680, 9685 16 (2001).
