Dear Ms. Dortch:

        EchoStar is aware that as a result of the actions taken at the 1998 Plenipotentiary Conference,
processing fees will now be charged by the International Telecommunication Union (“IT,”) for satellite
network filings. As a consequence, Commission applicants are responsible for any and all fees charged
by the ITU. EchoStar hereby states that it is aware of and unconditionally accepts this requirement and
its responsibility to pay any ITU cost recovery fees associated with the aforementioned ITU filing at the
appropriate time. In addition, all correspondence with EchoStar regarding ITU cost recovery issues
should be directed to the undersigned.

application, consummated a pro forma assignment of several space station assets, including those
associated with the applications identified in this letter, to EchoStar Corporation. See, e.g.File No.
SAT-ASG-2007 1 108-00 154, granted in Public Notice, DA 07-4655 (rel. Nov. 16,2007). Echostar,
submitted a notification to update these applications to reflect this assignment as required by 47 C.F.R. tj

Dortch, Secretary, FCC, dated January 3 1,2008. EchoStar submitted a corrected letter on February 1,
