Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: 115 License Subsidiary, LLC Call Sign S2700 Notification of Satisfaction of License Condition to Complete Coordination of Physical Operations Dear Ms. Dortch: 115 License Subsidiary, LLC (“LicenseSub”) hereby notifies the Commission that LicenseSub has satisfied its license condition to complete coordination of physical operations of its proposed space station with operators of space stations with overlapping station-keeping volumes.1 LicenseSub is authorized to operate at the 115.0° W.L. orbital location with an east-west drift of +/- 0.05 degrees. LicenseSub has reviewed the list of licensed systems and systems that are under consideration by the Commission for the nominal 115° W.L. orbital location. LicenseSub has determined that no system, with a station-keeping volume that would overlap that of LicenseSub’s proposed space station at 115.0° W.L., is currently operating, licensed, 1 See Stamp Grant, File Nos. SAT-LOA-20060412-00044, SAT-AMD-20080114- 00023 (December 17, 2008) (licensee must “[c]omplete coordination of the physical operations of the space station with operators of space stations with overlapping station-keeping volumes within two years and two months (February 17, 2011)”).

February 16, 2011 Page 2 or under consideration by the Commission.2 In addition, in order to address non-U.S. licensed systems, LicenseSub has reviewed the list of satellite networks in the vicinity of 115° W.L. for which a request for coordination has been submitted to the ITU. LicenseSub is not aware of any system that is the subject of an ITU filing, is either in orbit or progressing towards launch, and has an overlapping station-keeping volume with LicenseSub’s proposed space station. Accordingly, no further action is necessary to complete coordination of the physical operations of LicenseSub’s proposed space station. Please contact the undersigned if you should have any questions regarding this matter. Very truly yours, /s/ Bruce D. Jacobs Tony Lin Counsel for 115 License Subsidiary, LLC 2 Specifically, at the nominal 115° W.L. orbital location, XM-2 and XM-4 are authorized at 115.25° W.L. +/- 0.10 degrees and there is a pending application to co- locate XM-1 at that same location; FM-6 is authorized at 115.2° W.L. +/- 0.05 degrees; Viasat-IOM is authorized at 115.1° W.L. +/- 0.05 degrees; and Solidarid-2 is located at 114.9° W.L. +/- 0.05 degrees. None of these space stations has a station- keeping volume that overlaps with that of LicenseSub’s proposed space station.
