       DirectCom Networks, Inc. ("DirectCom"), by its attorneys, requests leave to file the

attached Reply to CAI Data System‘s ("CAIT‘s") late—filed "Opposition" to DirectCom‘s Petition

for Reconsideration ("Petition") of the matters referenced above.

       Under the Commission‘s rules, interested parties had until September 19, 2001 to file an

opposition to DirectCom‘s Petition, which was submitted on September 4, 2001 and served by

mail on all parties to the Ka—band GSO proceeding, including CAI.‘ One party, Pegasus

Development Corp. ("Pegasus"), timely filed a pleading styled "Opposition." Contrary to the

rules, CAI filed its Opposition on October 1, 2001, and served a copy on DirectCom by mail.

Moreover, DirectCom did not receive CAI‘s Opposition until after the October 4, 2001 due date

for filing its response to Pegasus. Consequently, DirectCom has not had an opportunity to reply

to CAT‘s allegations.




j      47 C.F.R. §1.106(g); 47 C.F.R. §1.4(b).


       CAT‘s Opposition is procedurally defective and should be dismissed without

consideration. Should the Commission nevertheless consider the Opposition, DirectCom

requests leave to file a Reply to CAI in order to ensure a complete record in this proceeding.

                                             Respectfully submitted,


                                              DRECTCOM NETyORKS, INC.

                                       DECLARATION OF TOBY DEWEESE


                    I, Toby DeWeese, hereby declare under penalty of perjury as follows:

            1.      I am Vice President Corporate Development of DirectCom Networks, Inc.
            ("DirectCom"), which holds a license for Ka—band satellites at 123° W.L. and 127° W.L,

            2.     DirectCom has filed a Petition for Reconsideration ("Petition") which urges the
            International Bureau to reconsider its decision that the 127° W.L, orbital location is
            capable of providing full—CONUS service, and to grant DirectCom a right of first refusal
            with respect to a full—CONUS Ka—band slot with U.S. ITU—date priority that may become
            available in the future.

            3.       In the event the Bureau grants the Petition as requested, DirectCom will not
            exercise the right it receives as a result of such grant to seek consent to reassign the
            satellite currently licensed at 127° W.L. to the 87° W.L. orbital location.
