Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: KaStarCom World Satellite, LLC File No. SAT—LOA—19980312—00018 Response to Commission StaffRequest Dear Ms. Salas: At the informal request of Commussion staff, this letter is filed on behalf of KaStarCom World Satellite, LLC ("KaStarCom") to re—affirm KaStarCom‘s preference for spectrum for uplink and downlink operations, inter—satellite links, telemetry, tracking & control, and transfer orbit and emergency operations. The attached Appendix A provides this information. Commission staff also requested information concerning the manner in which KaStarCom proposes to operate its satellites. To reiterate information contained in its letter to the Commission staff dated June 1, 2001, KaStarCom has expressed a preference for the following orbital assignments: 73° W.L. 500 MHz 109.2° W.L. 500 MHz 111° W.L. 1000 MHz WB Holdings 1, LLC ("WB") holds orbital assignments in the Ka—band for the 3° W.L. and 109.2° W.L. orbital locations, and currently is in the process of constructing its authorized satellites. Therefore, if the authorizations are granted as proposed by KaStarCom, WB and KaStarCom would share those two orbital locations, though they would operate on different frequencies. KaStarCom envisions that, as licensees of co—located Ka—band satellites at 73° W.L. and 109.2° W.L., WB and KaStarCom would jointly construct and own a single satellite at each such location. Consistent with Commission policy, KaStarCom and WB each would maintain control of its authorized spectrum segment and the operations to be

Specifically, KaStarCom would be responsible for monitoring the operation of the satellites using its assigned frequencies in order to ensure compliance with the Commission‘s rules, including requirements for satellite coordination and other technical aspects of space station operation. In addition, KaStarCom would retain exclusive control over operations on the frequencies assigned to it, and access to and from the KaStarCom capacity on those satellites. Both WB and KaStarCom would have the right and ability to cease their respective operations on the satellites or the relevant transponders upon Commission request. Please contact undersigned counsel if any questions arise concerning this matter.
