Re:     ViaSat, Inc. Satellite Authorization for the Nominal 77º W.L. Orbital Location
        Call Sign S2737, FCC File Nos. SAT-LOA-20070314-00051; SAT-MOD-20071204-
        00168; SAT-MOD-20080718-00144; SAT-AMD-20081203-00220; SAT-MOD-

Dear Ms. Dortch:

                ViaSat, Inc. (“ViaSat”) hereby tenders for cancellation the above-referenced
authorization to launch and operate a Ka band geostationary satellite at the nominal 77º W.L.
orbital location. ViaSat anticipates being able to implement additional Ka band broadband
spacecraft to serve the United States once the current regulatory uncertainty regarding the role of
satellite broadband in universal service reform is favorably resolved.

                The cancellation of ViaSat’s 77º W.L. authorization renders moot ViaSat’s
application for milestone modification. Therefore, ViaSat is also withdrawing the pending
application FCC File Nos. SAT-MOD-20100714-00159, SAT-MOD-20100714-00158.

               If you have any questions regarding this submission, please contact the
undersigned.


                                                 Respectfully submitted,

                                                 /s/ John P. Janka

                                                 John P. Janka
