                             Construction Permit, File Nos. DBS 87—01, 94—SAT—AL—96,
                             94—SAT—TC—96, 49—SAT—TC—95, 130—SAT—EXT—95

     Dear Mr. Abelson:

          R/L DBS Company, LLC (°R/L DBS") is pleased to report to the International
     Bureau that R/L DBS and its spacecraft manufacturer have timely and successfully
     completed all milestones related to the construction of the R/L DBS Direct
     Broadcast Satellite Service ("DBS") satellite that were required to be completed by
     June 29, 2002 in accordance with the Commission‘s Memorandum Opinion and
     Order, 16 FCC Red 9 (2000) ("Extension Order").V

                 Specifically, the following milestones have been achieved:

                         e   Complete Transponder Fabrication;




     U          On June 22, 2001, the International Bureau granted the request of R/L DBS
                to substitute, for the milestones referenced in the Extension Order,
                alternative milestones that more accurately reflect the manufacturing
                processes and sequences of Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed
                Martin"), the entity that R/L DBS selected to construct the satellite (See File
                No. SAT—MOD—20010611—00051). Therefore, R/L DBS is using the Lockheed
                Martin milestones for purposes of this report.
