(doing business as "SRS") on the above—captioned application of DIRECTV Enterprises. LLC(~DIRECTV~). as amended, for Commission authority to operate the DIRECTV 18 satelite (call sign §2872) at 304.2° W.L.. (55.8° EL). As the Commission is avare, RSCC wishes to utllize the DIRECTV 18 satelit temporarily to accommodate certain customers currently operating on RSCC‘s Bonum 1 satelfte at 56° E.L. untl te faunch ofBonum 1‘s replacement. DIRECTV 1R will aperate in the downlink frequencies 12.2—12.5 GHz.. RSCC understands that operation ofNSS—12 in the overlapping band 12,25—12.50 GHz is limited to the coverage in Figure 1 below ‘The replacement satellite Express—AT I —is expected tobegin commercial service late next year.,

Figure 2 prescnis dowalink EIRP contours forthe Bonum 1 satellte currently operating at S6° E... and three representative downlink EIRP contours of the DIRECTV 1R sitellte (52 dBW; 50 dBW, 47.8 dBW).. Figure 2 io shows in green the territory of India where NSS— 12 service is being provided. 1t can be concluded from Figure 2 tha the downlink EIRP values ofthe Bonum 1 and DIRECTV1R satelltes (both assumed to be operating atsaturation) are very similar. As no imerference from the Bonum 1 satelfte to NSS—12 receive earth stations in Indin has been observed ateseveral years ofsimuttancous operation, RSCC is of the view that th likelihood of DIRECTV 1R producing unacceptable interference to NS—[2 rescive earthsttions in Indiais very low. %. e mmg; Figure 1. Downlink EIRP contours ofthe NSS—12 satelite in the band 12,28—12,50 oh.

Moreaver. RSCC understands that the FCCwill authorize DIRECTV 1R to aperite on a noninterference, non—protected basis.. Therefore, RSCC believes that authorization for operation of DIRECTV 18 ar &5 should be granted so that RSCC can ensure service continuity pending the Iaunch of Bonum1‘s replacement satellite, Respectfullysubmitted.
