Federal Communications Commission Washington, DC 20554 International Bureau July 18, 2002 VIA FACSIMILE AND U.S. MAIL Mr. Brian Weimer Skadden Arps Slate Meagher 1440 New York Ave, NW Washington, DC 20005—2111 Re: Celsat America, Inc. File Nos. 26/27/28—DSS—P—94; 36—SAT—AMEND—95; 65/66/67/SAT— AMEND—96;.192—SAT—AMEND—97; 88—SAT—AMEND—98 Dear Mr. Weimer: On July 17, 2001, the International Bureau ("Bureau") authorized Celsat America, Inc. ("Celsat") to construct, launch and operate a satellite system to provide mobile—satellite service ("MSS") in the 2 GHz band.‘ In this Order, we assigned implementation milestones for the construction, launch, and operation of the satellite system. The license provides that failure to meet any of the implementation milestones will render the satellite authorization null and void. Celsat is also required to file a certification with the Commission within 10 days following each milestone. To satisfy the first construction implementation milestone for 2 GHz MSS licenses, the Commission required the execution of a non—contingent construction contract by July 17, 2002 The "non—contingent" requirement contemplates that there will be neither significant delays between the execution of the construction contract and the actual commencement of construction, nor conditions precedent to construction." In order for the Commission to determine whether Celsat has complied with this milestone condition of its license, please submit a copy of the signed executed contract that satisfies Celsat‘s obligations under the first milestone and verifies that Celsat‘s satellites will be built within the time frame specified in Celsat‘s license. This submission should also include a copy of ‘ Celsat America, Inc., Application Concerning Use of the 1990—2025/2165—2200 MHz and Associated Frequency Bands for a Mobile—Satellite System, Order and Authorization, 16 FCC Red 13712 (Int‘l Bur. 2001)(DA 01—1632).

the Statement of Work as well as technical specifications. This information must be filed with the Commission‘s Secretary by July 29, 2002, with a hand delivered courtesy copy to Howard Griboff of my staff. Failure to provide this information by this date shall render Celsat‘s 2 GHz MSS license null and void. Please contact Howard Griboff at (202) 418—0657 if you have any questions.
