Re:    In the Matter of Application of AFRISPACE, INC. For Authority to Construct,
       Launch and Operate a Subregional Africa and Middle Eastern Satellite Sound
       Broadcasting Transmission System, File No. CSS—90—017

Dear Ms. Pride:

       Thank you for your telephone call this morning regarding the recent Amendment to
AfriSpace, Inc.‘s ("AfriSpace") pending application. As we discussed during the call,
AfriSpace did not file Schedule B to FCC Form 312 since this Schedule is to be used only
when filing for earth stations. (See FCC Form 312, Instructions for Completion of FCC Form
312 Application for Satellite Space and Earth Station Authorizations, Feb. 1998, at 5).

       As indicated in the Amendment, AfriSpace will have no earth stations located in the
United States because of the orbital location of its satellite. Rather, AfriSpace will control its
off—shore earth stations via dedicated facilities. (See Amendment, at 26). Therefore,
AfriSpace is not required to file Schedule B to FCC Form 312.

       Should you have any further questions regarding this filing, please contact the
undersigned at (202) 736—1809.




                                                      Counsel to
                                                      AfriSpace, Inc.
