                                           EXHIBIT 1

                              Other Licenses and Applications
                           Response to FCC Form 312, Question 36

         On July 26, 2011, the FCC declared null and void an authorization of EchoStar
Corporation, the parent company of Hughes Network Systems, LLC (together with their
affiliates, “EchoStar”), to construct, launch, and operate a new Direct Broadcast Satellite at 86.5°
W.L. for failure to meet the critical design review milestone, and rejected EchoStar’s request to
modify its 86.5° W.L. authorization to allow the in-orbit EchoStar 8 satellite to provide service
from that orbital location.1

       The FCC also has denied a few of EchoStar’s applications for initial license or
modification.2

       The FCC has dismissed, but not denied on the merits, a few of EchoStar’s license
applications without prejudice to refiling.3
