Bureau Re: Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC License to Operate L—band Mobile Satellite Service Satelliteat 101°WIL Call Sign 52487; File No. SAT—LOA—19980702 et al Dear Ms. Dortch: On May 23, 2005, the International Bureau (*Bureau") issued a decision authorizing Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC (*MSV") to launch and operate an L—band Mobile Satelite Service (°MSS") satellite at 101°WIL (called "MSV—1")." Paragraph 74 ofthis decision requires MSV to submit a written statement by July 22, 2008 identifying any known satelltes located at, or planned to be located at, the 101°WIL orbital location, or assigned in the vicinity of that location, such thatthe station keeping volume ofthe satellites might overlap, and that states the measures that will be taken to prevent in—orbit collisions with such satellites. In addition to its own two licensed satelltes (AMSC—1 and MSV—1), MSV is aware that DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC (‘DIRECTV") is authorized by the Commission to operate four satellites atthe 101°WL orbital location (DTV—IR, —2,—45, —8)° and has applied to the Commission to operate two additional satellites at that location." MSV is also aware that SES Americom Inc. (‘SES") is lcensed by the Commission to operate a satellite (AMC—4)at the 101°WL orbital location. Moreover, Pegasus DBS Development Corporation has an application pending with the Commission to launch and operate a satellte at the 101°WL orbital location.* ‘ See Mobile Satellite Ventures Subsidiary LLC, Order and Authorization, DA 05—1492 (May 23, 2003). * The DTV—8 satelite is intended to replace the DTV—2 satellite. See Application of DIRECTV Enterprises, LLC, File No. SAT—RPL—20040630—00127 (filed June 30, 2004). * See Application ofDIRECTV Enterprises, LLC, File No. SAT—RPL—20050322—00070 (filed March 22, 2005) (DTV—98); Application of DIRECTV Enterprises, Inc., File No. SAT—LOA— 19970605—00050 (filed June 5, 1997) (DIRECTV Expansion satellite). * See Application of Pegasus DBS Development Corp., File No. SAT—LOA—20020322—00033 (filed March 22, 2002).

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch July 22, 2005 Page2 With respect to non—U.S.—licensed systems, the United Kingdom, France, and Luxembourg have filed coordination requests with the TTU for satellites at the 101°WIL orbital location. MSV is not aware ofany construction contracts that have been awarded for these networks. Moreover, none ofthese satellites appear in the FAA‘s Commercial Space Launch Schedule. MSV will coordinate the station keeping box ofMSV—1 with operators at the 101°WL orbital location. In—orbit collsions can be avoided ifthe satellites operating at the nominal 101°WL orbitallocation operate at offset locations to avoid overlapping station keeping boxes. Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned. Very truly yours, t2 r A. Manner cc: Robert Nelson
