Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Petition for Reconsideration of International Bureau Order DA 09-1850, Call Signs S2346, S2680, S2681, S2682, and S2683 Dear Ms. Dortch: On February 4, 2010, representatives of AtContact Communications, LLC (“AtContact”) participated in a telephone call with Louis Peraertz, Legal Advisor to Commissioner Clyburn, regarding AtContact’s pending Petition for Reconsideration of the International Bureau’s decision to nullify AtContact’s satellite license. The purpose of the call was to summarize the matters and arguments set forth in the February 1, 2010 letter filed by AtContact in this proceeding. In particular, AtContact discussed the potential for a partial reconsideration of the International Bureau’s decision that would allow AtContact to finish constructing a GSO satellite using the NGSO Ka-band spectrum at 121º W.L. AtContact also noted that the Bureau’s decision requiring AtContact to forfeit its performance bond is inconsistent with the Commission’s precedent concerning waiver of that bond.1 As AtContact has previously noted, the Commission has waived the performance bond requirement when a licensee has been far less diligent that AtContact in meeting its milestone requirements. 1 Rainbow DBS Company LLC, Memorandum Opinion and Order, FCC 07-11 ¶ 14 (rel. March 2, 2007).
