                                         March 19,2004



         With today's grant, we modify Intelsat LLC's license for the INTELSAT 702
satellite and authorize it to operate the satellite in the following C-band and Ku-band
frequencies: 3700-4200 MHz, 5925-6425 MHz, 10.95-11.2 GHz, 11.45-11.95 GHz,
12.5-12.75 GHz and 14.0-14.5 GHz at the 54.85' E.L. orbital location subject to the
following conditions' :


        1)       Intelsat LLC's operations shall be on a non-harmful interference basis, i.e.,
                 Intelsat LLC shall not cause harmful interference to, and shall not claim
                 protection from interference caused to it by, any other lawfully operating
                 satellites; and

        2)       In the event that any harmful interference occurs as a result of Intelsat
                 LLC's operations at the 54.85' E.L. orbital location, Intelsat LLC shall
                 cease operations immediately upon notification of such interference and
                 shall inform the FCC in writing immediately of such an event; and

        3)       Intelsat LLC shall inform its customers that operations at the 54.85" E.L.
                 orbital location are on a non-harmful interference basis and that Intelsat
                 LLC must cease operations upon notification to the United States
                 Administration of such interference; and

        4)       Intelsat LLC shall maintain full operational control of the INTELSAT 702
                 satellite at all times; and

        5)       This authorization is issued on the understanding that Intelsat LLC,
                 pursuant to its agreement with the Indian Space Research Organization
                 (ISRO) will conform its operations to parameters agreed to in coordination
                 agreements between the Administration of India and other

1
           Conditions 8, 12, 14 and 15, as adopted by today's authorization, modify, effective today,
conditions, 8, 12, 13, and 14 of our February 23, 2004 action granting authority for the INTELSAT 702
satellite to operate in the 11.45 -1 1.7 GHz and 14.25-14.5 GHz frequency bands. See File Nos. SAT-AMD-
20031 I18-0033/,SAT-AMD-20021127-00239andSAT-MOD-20020923-00177.


      Administrations. As the United States remains the licensing authority,
      responsibility for both compliance with and enforcing compliance with
      those agreements is a matter which would arise under private law; and

      This authorization is also issued on the understanding that, in regards to
      filings with the ITU, the Administration of India is not acting pursuant to
      Article 9.1 of the Radio Regulation on behalf of the United States
      Administration; and

      This authorization is also issued on the understanding that the Federal
      Communications Commission remains the licensing administration, for
      purposes of ITU Radio Regulation 18.1, for the INTELSAT 702 satellite,
      and that its operations are pursuant to ITU Radio Regulation 4.4; and

      Intelsat LLC shall prepare and submit to the Federal Communications
      Commission, within fifteen days following grant of this authorization, the
      necessary materials for submission to the ITU, pursuant to Article 8.4 of
      the Radio Regulations, in connection with the operations of the
      INTELSAT 702 satellite at the 54.85" E.L. orbital location; and

9)    This authorization is issued on the understanding that this grant is not an
      approval of any specific agreement entered into by Intelsat LLC, its
      subsidiaries, and affiliates, nor of any specific provision of any such
      agreement, concerning operation of the Intelsat 702 satellite, nor is it an
      approval of an agreement concerning any related matter, nor of any
      specific provision of any such agreement concerning any related matter;
      and

      This authorization is issued on the understanding that this grant, and
      previous grants for testing at the 54.85" E.L. orbital location, do not in any
      way express a view concerning, or agreement as to, the validity or lack of
      validity of any ITU filing at or within the vicinity of the 54.85' E.L. orbital
      location; and

      In connection with the provision of service in any particular country,
      Intelsat LLC is obliged to comply with the applicable laws, regulations,
      rules, and licensing procedures of that country; and

      The EIRP density in the frequency bands 10.95-1 1.2 GHz, 11.7-1 1.95
      GHz, 12.5-12.75 GHz, 11.45-1 1.7 GHz from the INTELSAT 702 satellite
      shall not exceed -30.1 dBW/Hz in the downlink and the uplink power
      spectral density in the frequency band 14.0-14.5 GHz shall not exceed -
      54.5 dBW/Hz; and

13)   Intelsat LLC shall either establish sufficient contact with the operator of
      the Express AM22 satellite to ascertain the times, frequencies and types of


      emissions to be used for the Express AM22’s operations, or establish a
      monitoring function to determine such; and

14)   In the event that an operator-to-operator arrangement is not reached
      between Intelsat LLC and the operator of the Express AM22 satellite, and
      if, the Express AM22 satellite utilizes receive antenna diameters of less
      than 1.2 meters within a beam which overlaps the coverage area of the
      INTELSAT 702 satellite beam, in the 10.95-11.2 GHz, 12.5-12.75 GHz,
      and the 11.45-11.7 GHz frequency bands, then Intelsat shall maintain an
      EIRP density of no greater than 39.25 dBW/36 MHz in the downlink
      transponders co-frequency with the Express AM22 transmissions utilizing
      those antennas; and

15)   The EIRP density in the frequency band 3700 - 4200 MHz from the
      INTELSAT 702 satellite shall not exceed -45.0 dBW/Hz in the downlink
      and the uplink power spectral density in the frequency band 5925 - 6425
      MHz shall not exceed -58.0 dBWIHz; and

16)   Intelsat LLC is afforded thirty days from the date of release of this grant
      and authorization to decline this authorization as conditioned. Failure to
      respond within this period will constitute formal acceptance of the
      authorization as conditioned; and

17)   This Authorization is issued pursuant to Section 0.261 of the
      Commission’s rules on delegated authority, 47 C.F.R. 0 0.261 and is
      effective March 17,2004. Petitions for reconsideration under Section
      1.106 or applications for review under Section 1.115,47 C.F.R. $0 1.106,
      1.115, may be filed within 30 days of the date of the public notice
      indicating that this action was taken.
